A complex coming-of-age story that touches on the nuances of gender and sex could pique your interest.

Middlesex is a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about a girl who discovers that she’s a boy who discovers that he’s intersex, and all of the questions that ensue. But it's also so much more than that. It's the story of a complicated family history going back generations. It's a story how to be who you are and love who you love when the world is telling you that you're wrong. We loved how it deconstructed the assumed binary of both gender and sex, and we also loved seeing all these characters grow on their unusual journeys. CW: incest
