On My Way There by Jaycie Morrison, Jaycie Morrison
4.0
This was more of a life journey narrative than a typical tropy romance. Max is severely scarred by a horrendous event in her childhood. Her journey is one of growing up and in the process learning what she needs to change about herself in order to heal so that she can live a full and healthy life.
Overall, I liked the progression and the writing. I found the trans character (a friend) well rendered. The ending was mildly disappointing: It felt rushed, unthought out and out of sync with the rest of the novel, almost fairytale-like.
This novel is a bit reminiscent of [b:Finding the Grain|17675102|Finding the Grain|Wynn Malone|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1364864646l/17675102._SY75_.jpg|24678837] (which I loved). Folks who enjoy this type of life journey, coming-of-age story spanning a number of years and featuring a butch protagonist may enjoy this book.
