I absolutely loved this book, Mock’s writing is approachable and easy to read, though the content does get very heavy at times. The only thing I wanted that wasn’t there was more about her time in New York. But maybe she’ll write another book about that someday!

The most vulnerable and courageous memoir I’ve ever read! So beautifully written. I laughed and cried, I thought and learned. I was challenged and moved. I felt literally all of the feelings! Literally! After reading this book I feel like I’ve received a gift. THANK YOU Janet Mock for sharing your story!

Great first installment of Mocks life. Her story and experience are super valuable and she's a truly impressive woman. As a queer person who's pretty well versed in these issues sometimes there was a little more explanation of these issues/why transphobia is bad than I needed.t However I think it was good she included those stats and explanations as this book can have such a wide reach and really be a teaching tool for people who don't have much exposure to trans issues. Highly recommend!

Well-written memoir interspersed with some facts/information. Authentic voice. Grateful for her letting us into her world in such a vulnerable way.
