Anybody on the fence on whether you should read this, I promise it's worth your time. If you don't like the gender thing don't worry about it there is no real sexual or romantic component here. The gender switch is there to highlight a difference in identity and a sense of self.
Things you think are tropes get turned around to make for more interesting storylines and mysteries. Seriously didn't know if I would like this in the beginning but it's turned out to be one of my new favorites.
