I nearly put this book down without finishing it, but it was the only one I had with me on a weekend trip. I'm glad I finished it because the ending was actually quite good. However, I found the main character annoying for most of the novel. Mixed feelings all around for me!

hopeful informative inspiring sad medium-paced

Really great insight into the US politics around trans equality. Inspiring yet heart-wrenching story of love and loss. I felt like it got overly wordy at times, but the narrative thread pulled it all together well.
