She's Not There: A Life in Two Genders
by Jennifer Finney Boylan
This was really good!
I want to check out Jenny's other books, now.
For the content itself, while I am cisgendered, I felt like Jenny's story was very relatable. She had this secret that she didn't want to share, and thought that if she just tried hard enough, she could hide it, and change herself. But she couldn't. I think everyone can relate to that on some level, the feeling of not wanting to rock the boat but really having to rock the boat.
I also liked the degree of detail that she went into, such as how her impression of what it is to be a girl was different from what it ended up being like to be a woman.
