Rozhan Martin doesn't think her life should be as interesting as it is-she's just a simple, nerdy student at Scarlet Skies Academy with a huge crush on the quarterback of the football team and a wacky, gay best friend.
Except she's a trans girl, which complicates her life greatly.
The other girls think she's a guy who just wants into the locker room. The guys think she's either a guy who needs the feminity knocked out of her or feel weird talking to her since she used to share a locker room with them. The only place she really feels safe is by Deming Black, previously mentioned wacky, gay best friend, but he has a life of his own, even if he is one of the few people who doesn't call Rozhan by her dead name, or require an explanation for just about every word she says when talking about her gender identity.
When she finds an envelope in her locker, she thinks it's a joke-no one falls for nerdy transgirls, right? But when she keeps getting love notes, all addressed to her and signed with an upside down question mark, she starts to feel good about herself.
But who could it be? George Garcia, the boy she sees at the bakery she frequents? Gina, the girl she always talks with at the gym? Akila Yi, the peppy, goth, Manic Pixie Dream Girl in her neighborhood? Dawn Law, a slightly mean, butch lesbian with an incredibly privileged past trying to better herself? Dare she hope it's Zane Ferro, the unbelievably kind quarterback of Scarlet Skies' boys' football team?
On top of a silly high school romance, Rozhan has to navigate the ups and downs of life, coming to understand trans exclusionary feminism, the devastating effects of poverty especially when tragedy strikes and face her own coming of age after coming out of the closet.

What could possibly go wrong there. Millie Dawson was a young teacher, Twenty three years old, newly graduated with a masters degree and teaching her first year at the community college, whilst simultaneously assisting her mother Moira at the university in her speciality, psychology.
