partially pick this up because of the title, stopping now because a medical character driven narrative is just is not working for me

4.0

I didn't know anything about Harris Reed before picking this up, as I assumed this was more of a general overview of gender neutral fashion. I did however enjoy hearing his thought process and path forward to where he is now. Pictures were gorgeous too! Just not what I thought the book was going to be.

Written very well but then it just... ended? This felt like part one in a two part memoir.

Emma Lord has done it again!! Believable and brilliant characters filled with life and flaws. .75 stars taken off for the mom character that read like a 25 year old.

I haven't read any of the author's previous work, so I feel I may not truly appreciate this book.

I really want to like this, but I've had the same problem with this one that I've had with their other books. I think theres's good messages, but the frustrating main character keeps me from rating this higher.
