"I don't care that she's transgender. I'm completely fine with that. I accept her 100%." I smiled, the tears moving from fat drops to a river-like rush. The sun caught in my eyes and blurred my vision. That was okay because all I could see was Maddie. "She's a girl, period... and she's breathtakingly gorgeous," I whispered. Written by #ownvoices non-binary author Riley Rian, "I Love You Just the Way You Are," is about a transgender girl and her love interest. It's a story written from the heart of someone who wishes they would have had this when they were a teenager. @rileyrianbooks on Instagram. @riley_rian_books on TikTok.
