This is an OLA Forest of Reading Evergreen Award Nominee for 2020 and without it being on that list, I may never have picked it up. I enjoy this book mostly as an audiobook and reading it has certainly helped me to build empathy and understanding for the transgender community. Lorimer wrote openly about his experiences and struggles growing up. He has always felt like a boy on the inside, even from a young age and no matter how hard he tried to surpress that truth or his feelings, it always was bubbling below the surface. I appreciate how he shared with readers stories of his career paths, his family, and his hopes and dreams. It really opened my eyes. I am new to reading in the LGBTQ+ area and I am glad that I started with a memoir before diving into #ownvoices literature.
