I received a free copy from Netgalley, She Writes Press, and BookSparks in exchange for my honest review.
CW: sexual assault
This is an important book, perhaps even a must-read, for queer folks and allies alike. It is a vulnerable look at the transition journey that Jeremy goes through, starting from when he was quite young to present day. I was very intrigued by the "family memoir" aspect as I have not encountered anything like this before. His parents' reactions to the different stages of his transition were raw and honest, though not always positive. My favorite chapters were from Jeremy's younger brother Sammy's perspective. The book does use Jeremy's dead name and former pronouns up to the point of his transition. His mom does acknowledge this in the beginning of the book, stating that she had wrestled with what to do, but ultimately decided to go this route for clarity's sake.
