Continental Divide

This book hits that sweet spot for me, both in a combination of the story and with the perfect narrator. I think it would be hard to write a book that centers a transgender person\’s experience without burying all that the person is besides being transgender, and without belaboring, nor evading the fact. This book hits that balance. The book had me, as a heteronormative woman understanding my privilege in a way that has me thinking a lot about it, and all the realities that I live in, such as the privilege of safety because of my hetero gender identity. That is just one of the takeaways from reading the book, besides the pleasure of a well-told story. And it\’s just a great story, with wonderful characters that I will miss. I never write reviews, but this is just an outstanding book that I had to.

I’m a 19 y/o trans man and I have never felt more understood by a book. This book puts into text daydreams I’ve had for years about somehow proving my manliness and worth. It’s beautiful. Listened to the whole thing in a single day, I loved it so much.

Definitely should have a TW at the beginning! As a trans man myself it was pretty triggering to listen to some of the abuse scenes, including the communication/letters from his parents. However, I loved the book, great story and narration!
