The upside/downside of an organization like the NYT highlighting the best books of the year is that it brings those books to wider attention, but seriously increases expectations. I thought this memoir of transitioning late in life would blow my socks off and it just didn‘t. I‘m so glad it exists and hope to see more trans stories being told, but it just didn‘t meet my expectations.

I listened to this memoir of transition while wrapping presents. Olympia helped 😼(by clawing all the ribbons and biting the paper!)
This was on my radar and moved it up when it made the #NYTTop10 of 2024. This memoir covers Lucy‘s origin story, her parents, and alternates between past and present, describing her feelings when using photo filter apps. Gender identity is tangled up in all of Santes other identities: writer, partner.

A wonderful book about a person who is a talented writer, husband, & father who looks at the feminine version on face app & realizes who she was meant to be. Lucy recognizes her self repression,yet once the awareness comes she can only move in one direction. She wrote one of my favorite books of all time ,Low Life & lived through those wild NY downtown art scenes of the late 70s & 80s, while many perished in addiction or AIDS.A very moving book!
