Alex just wants to be a Real Boy, to feel like he belongs in his home, his family, his skin. Then comes Tracy, who thinks he's adorably awkward, who lives Alex's goofy smile and his awkwardness. When they begin dating, Alex feels strange in his role of "boyfriend." In his daydreams, Alex tries on dresses and swipes on lipstick.Then he meets Andre, a gay boy who is beautiful and unafraid to be who he is. Slowly, Alex begins to realize: maybe his name isn't Alex at all. Maybe it's Sasha Masha. -- adapted from jacket
