Finding Nevo by Nevo Zisin

5.0

---

This is an essential teen autobiography to understand what it is like for someone who lives their life as queer, transmasculine and non-binary. Born a Jewish girl in Melbourne, Nevo faces the internal and external battle of coming to terms with their masculine side. For a 20 year old, Nevo lives their life and writes this biography with such emotional maturity. Of particular interest, is the insight Nevo shares about how life is different when been 'passed' as a man as opposed to being considered a female. They talk about obvious differences in how they are treated and how safe they feel out and about.
A brilliant read for teens and adults alike.
