Is this a "message book"? Yes, but an exceptionally well-written one. This is the first book I've read about an intersex main character where it's clear that the author has done her research, not just in terms of the medical aspects, but in listening to and seeking the opinions of intersex people. I was frustrated early on with the protagonist's strictly chromosomal understanding of gender, but it's not unrealistic for a high school student, and it gives her room to grow.
