I'm going to keep this review short, because memoirs are hard to rate and review. It is a person telling their own story how they feel is best, and that is very hard to critique. I will mostly leave my review at saying that this book is incredibly well written, and there were so many quotes that I was underlining and marking. I also really loved a lot of the stylistic choices he made, including the non-linear timeline. He says in the beginning that he chose to structure it in this way because he felt like the process getting to where he is today, including his transition, wasn't entirely linear, and I really respect that choice, and I think it works really well. I absolutely loved this book, and I would highly highly recommend it!!
