I take it this "The Real Thing" series is short memoirs. This one, at least, was a meticulously footnoted and genuinely sweet story of love, and of discomfort that heals.

A very short and sweet queer love story. Pride month was certainly a good month to read it and it’s truly heartwarming.

Here’s what this book is about:”In this unforgettable meet-cute, Samantha Allen traces her story of self-discovery during gender transition and the life-altering partnership that began with a simple hello in an elevator. Feeling “unfinished” at the liminal age of twenty-six, the author had already accumulated decades of emotional baggage growing up in a Mormon family and living with gender dysphoria. When she met Corey midtransition, she felt even more like an awkward shape-shifter. Now Samantha shares how taking a chance on that fortuitous encounter meant having the courage to be herself.”

I borrowed this book from Prime Reading. This is the 4th story in a short story collection. I wanted to listen to this book because it sounded interesting and I’ve never read a book written by a transgender woman. I liked this book. I liked hearing the story about how Samantha and her wife met. This was a cute story.
