Oh, if I was the sort to read books this is definitely something
I'd read. I love it when a swap involves a guy and a girl who is
cruel to him. This sounds fun.

If you're not into reading books there is the audiobook version

nothing is lazier writing then the crappy trope boyfriend did girl
wrong, so he deserves to suffer...like the hot girl deserves
nothing and the nerd/ugly/fat person is good and deserves the
best...so basic

I'm only halfway though this book, so not a full review but I
wanted to post on this thread before it rolls off.
This book is SO good. It's YA, basically a PG-13 rating, so nothing
sexually explicit but there's a ton in here that TG fans will love.
Also, it's just a good book with sympathetic 3D characters, an
interesting plot and a mystery surrounding the bodyswapping at its
core. It's well written, none of the previously mentioned tropes in
sight.
As for TG content, here's just a taste of what's transpired up to
near the midpoint. The narrator describes waking up after the first
long term swap in just panties and a tank top. He's embarrassed at
that point but it quickly becomes apparent that he really enjoys
being in a girl's body. He loves dressing up in her clothes and
rocking her 80's chic style. He learns to walk in heels. He
describes getting naked for a shower in her body for the first
time, and looking at her boobs, nipples in particular, and her
"va-jim-jam" (it's not graphic, but more than I expected in YA). He
enjoys the powerful feeling of looking good and the effect his
flirting has on a boy. This one I'll post as a spoiler.Click to show spoiler

If you like TG, I highly recommend this book. If you're indifferent
to TG, I highly recommend this book. And just to be clear, I have
no connection to the author and only heard about the book from the
OP.

Won't be able to read but I might cave on the audio book,
can you please give more spoilers to see if its worth it?

Thanks go to @theobserver. I wouldn't have known about this book
otherwise.
I don't usually read YA since I'm not remotely "Y", but I enjoyed
it immensely, and because of the TG aspect I couldn't stop thinking
about it. The protagonist, Ezra, like the author, doesn't feel
completely male and seems to really enjoy exploring his feminine
side.
Here's one quote I won't make a spoiler tag for since it's included
in the free to download Kindle edition preview: "I opened my eyes.
Glanced down at my hands, palms flat against the cold tile. Except
they weren’t my hands. They were smaller. Thinner. Smoother. Each
fingernail was painted electric blue. That’s when I noticed the
tufts of electric-blue hair framing my periphery."

I was absolutely loving this until the extended swap.
The book goes into excruciating detail about stuff(like 30 minutes
on the mc's Depp impersonations) but as soon as they stay swapped
more than a few hours it cuts immediately to a month in.
just about killed my interest.

I personally enjoyed this. In other teen body swap books/movies,
the boy is almost always horrified at the thought of having to act
like a girl. Our hero, Ezra, is just the opposite. He says he's not
transgender or genderfluid, but he doesn't consider himself to be
100% male, either, and really makes an effort to look good as
Wynona. He views Wynona's body as more of a curiosity rather than a
peepshow, noticing things like having different teeth and a
different laugh. He inherits Wynona's dyslexia and she get his
insomnia. Also...
