megatsunami 's review for:
She's Not There: A Life in Two Genders
by Jennifer Finney Boylan
This book was such a delight. I loved the writing. Very funny too. Highly recommend.
I felt ambivalent about the afterward by her friend Richard Russo. I enjoyed their exchange of emails in the middle of the book, the description of their conversations, and the uncomfortable and messy process Russo went through in being able to accept his friend's gender transition. His perspective in the afterward was really interesting too and I appreciated some of the stories he shared. But I did not like him having the literal last word in her story, or his discomfort and complex feelings about her transition being the closing note of the book.
