She had scraped together what previous generations of trans women could only dream of: a life of mundane, bourgeois comforts. 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.Īmes isn’t 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. Could the three of them form some kind of unconventional family-and raise the baby together? When Ames’s boss and lover, Katrina, reveals that she’s pregnant with his baby-and that she’s not sure whether she wants to keep it-Ames wonders if this is the chance he’s been waiting for. This provocative debut is about what happens at the emotional, messy, vulnerable corners of womanhood that platitudes and good intentions can’t reach.
