Longlisted for The Womens Prize - Roxane Gays Audacious Book Club Pick - New York Times Editors ChoiceReese almost had it all: a loving relationship with Amy, an apartment in New York City, a job she didnt 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. Ames isnt happy either. He thought detransitioning to live as a man would make life easier, but that decision cost him his relationship with Reese--and losing her meant losing his only family. Even though their romance is over, he longs to find a way back to her. When Amess boss and lover, Katrina, reveals that shes pregnant with his baby--and that shes not sure whether she wants to keep it--Ames wonders if this is the chance hes been waiting for. Could the three of them form some kind of unconventional family--and raise the baby together? This provocative debut is about what happens at the emotional, messy, vulnerable corners of womanhood that platitudes and good intentions cant reach.
