I want to start by extending my gratitude to Abram’s Books for allowing me the pleasure to read this ARC. Secondly, to Dylan…:while I know she didn’t personally pick me….I am gonna low key live in my own delusional bubble and pretend she did.

Reading this book was a privilege that I am so honored I was able to partake in. The stories brought happiness, sadness, anger, hope and then some.

This book takes you on a radical journey from before “Beergate”, during “Beergate” and after “Beergate”. She bared her heart and soul into this book told us her deepest pains and her happiest highs (also some literal highs….I will never go to Peru).

What I admired most was she mentioned many times that she recognizes her immense privileges in the trans community due to her platform.

This book is inspiring for those who have transitioned, are transitioning or want to. I hope this book gives hope and light to anyone struggling in the trans community that you have a people that love you and see you.

I read this book as an ally and will forever continue to fight for and support the trans community.

I will say if you have an issue with a slightly unconventional and chaotic format you may struggle to read it as it reads as a regular autobiographical book as well as a journal and has a very stream on consciousness vibe to it. Personally I loved it but can understand how grammar police might cringe.


So again Dylan, that you for personally choosing me to read your story…..because like you I LOVE FREE SHIT!
