She's Not There: A Life in Two Genders by Jennifer Finney Boylan

3.0

---

I was surprised when I finally got drawn into this book. At first, the only thing that kept me from putting it aside was the drama I was sure would ensue when James made the transition to Jennifer. But Jenny's writing is funny and concise and well done. She captures the emotional and physical aspects of her transition from male to female succinctly and articulately. If you are at all interested in transgender issues, this is an excellent read.
