Thank you to Netgalley and One World for an ARC of this book.

This is a story about women, both trans and cis, navigating the complexities of a (potentially) parenting a child in a non-nuclear, non-heteronormative way. Torrey Peters excels at writing flawed, complex characters, that you cannot help but root for. As a trans person myself (but more so on the other side of the spectrum), I felt deeply for both Reese and Ames and their struggles both past and present with their identities and complicated lives. Reese is a beautifully unapologetic character, and Ames' character really helped destigmatize the concept of detransitioning. There were many emotional moments that I found myself connecting with, maybe getting a bit teary-eyed at times. I loved Peters' deep dive into both of these characters experiences and psyche, they were gorgeously written. I highly highly recommend this book. I definitely plan on buying my own physical copy for many rereads to come. Already anticipating Torrey Peters' next work. Loved everything about this.
