Description

A young trans woman navigates the complicated terrain of love, identity, and belonging in a story that moves from the intensity of first impressions to the hard choices that follow. When a new romance begins to offer hope, it also forces her to confront what it means to be seen clearly—and to decide how much of herself she can safely share. Blending sharp emotional realism with moments of tenderness and humor, this novel explores themes of gender, family, community, and the power of self-definition. Meredith Russo’s distinctive, character-driven style makes the stakes feel immediate, turning a coming-of-age journey into a resonant meditation on authenticity and resilience.
