rachelle_reads's review against another edition
4.0
Parts of this book made me laugh out loud (that essential oils party was one!), and yet the author did not flinch in showing the uglier sides of life for trans women, including violence against Reese and a painfully awkward outing of Ames.
No doubt, this is a heavier read than most, but a thread of hope carries through.
Graphic: Pregnancy, Sexual violence, Miscarriage, and Transphobia
