Dylan’s story is an inspiration to this trans woman. While her journey started much later than mine, and our circumstances couldn’t be much further apart, she and I have experienced many of the same hurdles. I can only imagine the strength she needed to get through the whole “beergate” debacle (in which she was completely innocent) not only with her head up high, but with continuing to provide representation for trans folks - including the sad requirement of having to be a lightning rod of hate.

Dyl, you have so much strength and beauty, and thank you for sharing your vulnerability!

Love ya!

I was completely unprepared for what would come when my sister recommended this book to me. I’m not even sure how I would categorize it. It’s charming yet visceral, innocent yet twisted. The main character’s childhood experiences struck me hard, bringing to mind a lot of pain from the abuse I received as a child. But after the timeskip…it was all a downward spiral and I felt myself being pulled down with it. Not the narrative, which is both phenomenal and chilling, but the state of mind of the protagonist and her companions.

It’s an excellent book, and the narrator did an excellent job. But I can’t recommend this book to the weak of heart. Or the weak of stomach. I feel like this story will affect me for the rest of my life, but I don’t know the kind of effect.
