A really interesting narrative about how we navigate gender in different parts of our lives: how we are perceived by others, how we perceive our own gender and sexual orientation, how gender does/doesn't affect our relationships, and how love (hopefully) conquers all. ( )

I really liked this book; I enjoyed Boyd's honesty in her compassion for her husband and the struggles of Betty's decision on whether or not to fully transition MTF. Not only is it clear she is in love with her partner, but that there is compassion in the question of whether or not she's going to be able to say. As a non-trans partner, I really appreciated the moments of "I know exactly what you're talking about" that I haven't been able to have with other literature. ( )
