Welcome Readers!<\/p>\n
Reese almost had it all: a loving relationship with Amy, an apartment in New York City, a job she didn\u2019t hate. She had scraped together what previous generations of trans women could only dream of: a life of mundane, bourgeois comforts. The only thing missing was a child. But then her girlfriend, Amy, detransitioned and became Ames, and everything fell apart. Now Reese is caught in a self-destructive pattern: avoiding her loneliness by sleeping with married men.<\/em><\/p>\n Ames isn\u2019t happy either. He thought detransitioning to live as a man would make life easier, but that decision cost him his relationship with Reese\u2014and losing her meant losing his only family. Even though their romance is over, he longs to find a way back to her. When Ames\u2019s boss and lover, Katrina, reveals that she\u2019s pregnant with his baby\u2014and that she\u2019s not sure whether she wants to keep it\u2014Ames wonders if this is the chance he\u2019s been waiting for. Could the three of them form some kind of unconventional family\u2014and raise the baby together?<\/em><\/p>\n This provocative debut is about what happens at the emotional, messy, vulnerable corners of womanhood that platitudes and good intentions can\u2019t reach. Torrey Peters brilliantly and fearlessly navigates the most dangerous taboos around gender, sex, and relationships, gifting us a thrillingly original, witty, and deeply moving novel.<\/em> – One World<\/p>\n Looking for some other queer fiction?
