The lives of three women--transgender and cisgender--collide after an unexpected pregnancy forces them to confront their deepest desires One of the best books of 2021 so far. . . Vulture `Reading this novel is like holding a live wire in your hand.` Time `One of the most celebrated novels of the year.` Marie Claire `You won`t be able to put it down.` Bustle `The book everyone is talking about.` Named One of the Best Books of the Year by Esquire, Marie Claire, and Kirkus Reviews - Longlisted for The Women`s Prize - Roxane Gay`s Audacious Book Club Pick - New York Times Editors` Choice Reese almost had it all: a loving relationship with Amy, an apartment in New York City, a job she didn`t 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 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. 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. 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 can`t reach. Torrey Peters brilliantly and fearlessly navigates the most dangerous taboos around gender, sex, and relationships, gifting us a thrillingly original, witty, and deeply moving novel.
