"""Corey's debut novel is a rough and brutal look at the consequences that non-gender-affirming families and schools can have on individuals and what it really means to be a man."" --Booklist ""With humor and sensitivity, M. E. Corey reminds us that transition is a vital part of growing up and in doing so, evokes empathy and understanding for the transgender experience. Out of Blue Comes Green is an exhilarating feel-good novel about music, first love, and self-discovery that will leave you cheering."" --Kat Falls, author of Dark Life and Inhuman ""A heartfelt debut about navigating the ups and downs of young adulthood while trans--Corey will make you laugh and cry on the same page."" --Sierra Isley, author of In the Ring ""An honest story that emphasizes a person shouldn't have to conquer so many obstacles and win so many fights just to be their true and authentic self.
