At this point, I am convinced it's impossible for me not to love what D.C. Emerson writes. I absolutely LOVED this book. D.C. Emerson portrays gender identity in a very real and relatable way. It may look a little different from your own journey, but it still feels like something you have felt. The feelings are there with so much real emotion. I especially enjoyed the conversations around intimacy and how dysphoria can affect how it's approached. The communication and consent were so well done. Penelope and Riley clearly respect each other. Their individual journeys were so interesting and played into their relationship dynamic in a very interesting way. All in all, this was wonderful, and I loved every minute of it. I HIGHLY recommend reading this one!
