DETRANSITION, BABY

Renata Friedman narrates this messy, smart, and bighearted debut with a beautifully light touch. The story follows three women caught up in the complicated task of redefining family for themselves: Reese, a trans woman who let go of her dream of motherhood when her relationship imploded; Ames, Reese's ex, who is now living as a man, and Katrina, Ames's girlfriend. These characters are wonderfully, imperfectly human, and Friedman captures every nuance of their shifting emotions as they navigate desire, heartbreak, love, and parenthood. Her thoughtful narration, filled with humor and longing in equal measure, elevates this remarkable novel into something extraordinary. This audiobook illuminates the beating heart of modern queer and trans life; it's one you're not going to want to miss. L.S. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2021]
