Synopsis

"I'm just scared somehow that you're not even real."
"And what if I wasn't? What if I wasn't, but wanted to be?"

When Timothy Crow gets the ability to turn into a girl whenever he goes swimming, his first reaction is to panic, resulting in his near-death by drowning.
Of course, the one who shows up to save him is his best friend Alex. Alex, who Timothy has been trying to avoid meeting in person recently.
Timothy decides to use this second identity to rekindle the bond between him and his friend, but he seems to be missing something.
What will happen when Alex takes an obvious liking to the mysterious girl he met at the lake, who doesn't seem to exist in the light of day?
Why has his depression so suddenly vanished?
Why does being a different person feel so much better?
In the hottest summer in decades, as a comet with allegedly magical properties circles Earth, a seemingly normal boy sets out on a journey toward self-discovery and love.

      oh boy, I really like this one, gone out of my way to link other people too it. I already want to reread it again, which is something that I normally don't do. That's the lvl of glowing review I have for this so far, I even wish their where more people to talk about this with.  I could stay with these characters though most of there life, moving on in I am. The most frustrating human part of this I love/hate is the whole negative thing happens so they have to be extremely thick about looking at it again, I can totally see them say 'i don't think I like girls ' just because of one relationship not panning out, goofball, but then they have some good people around them.

      Probably my favorite trans story I've ever read. 

      That's probably saying a lot or overhyping this, there are certainly flaws here. I think the first half of the story is way better than the latter (although it definitely has its strong points), and I thought the love interest and the buildup to their romance needed a liiiittle bit more put into it.

      But just the main character's journey, and the way her angst manifests through her words and thoughts is so gripping. The way she justifies and processes her feelings throughout the story, only to finally reach the true answer she's searching for right near the end. It felt so real, so intense. It's entirely understandable how a character so clearly repressed reacts this way to their circumstances.

      And while I do think it needed a bit more, her romance with the love interest feels almost like a fairy tale. What's there is already so perfect, from just the premise alone. Every scene they shared together was like a wistful dream you never want to let go of. It feels like something that I would have come up with as a daydream, when I was younger. 

      Really I feel like my biggest complain is that there wasn't more of those scenes lol. But as is, those first 18 chapters are nearly perfect in my book. I just knew I needed to write a quick review for this the moment I finally got myself an account, this story deserves it.

      One of my absolute favorite things to do is come on to scribblehub and find new trans stories to read, there seems to be some abundance of amazing authors on here that just make it so easy to find good writing.

      The premise sounded interesting, almost comedic in a way. "Oooh a comet flew overhead and now our main character has to be a girl whenever they swim, haha", but even from early on that was so obviously not how it was going to be handled. This felt so real and intense and raw and it just hit all the right spots for me. The inexperience, the angst, that feeling of trying to figure yourself out in a world you don't even understand, just absolutely beautiful all the way throughout the story.

      Initially I was confused because the obvious feel-good part of the genre had come and gone within the first half of the piece, and my only guess at what might be next was a little drama or maybe some lighthearted fluff, but instead there was an unassuming ripple in the text that very quickly tore me to pieces.

      10/10 there's very few pieces of trans literature that have made me cry like this and feel so good at the end of it all.
