emotional hopeful inspiring reflective fast-paced

4.0

This magnum opus is craftily written to be appropriate for any audience. It is a memoir of someone's atypical journey through life and with it comes humor, trauma, questioning, euphoria, horrors, and loves. This is revealed through a stream-of-conscious story-line that flows eloquently. 

To other questioning people, this is a beacon of hope. It also validates and fuels the questions. And leaves you wanting to know what will happen next.

Really beautiful. I'd recommend this to anyone - queer folks, loved ones of queer folks, people questioning their gender/sexuality, people wanting to learn more about gender/sexuality. I wish I had had this book when I was a teen.
