I have just finished reading Golden Boy by Abigail Tarttelin. It is quite an emotional and difficult read in places. The story centres around Max, an intersex teenager who identifies as male. He lives a fairly charmed life - wealthy, caring parents, attractive, athletic and popular. His life is turned upside down when he becomes the victim of a sexual assault which has massively far-reaching consequences.
The story is narrated by several different characters - Max, Sylvie (his potential girlfriend), Karen (Max's mother), Daniel (Max's brother) and Archie (Max's doctor). I don't want to give away too much of the plot but I challenge you to read this book and not be moved.
