I absolutely adore Tommy Dorfman and I am so glad I got to read her memoir. I was worried it may be much like other celebrity memoirs where I find little to nothing to conenct with their glamorous lives with only one element of heir identity in common with mine. But I was quickly reassured by her writing voice and her very concise control over how she shared her transition journey. As a transmasc non-binary person myself, I was surprised and gratified deeply with how much of her self-reflection and gender reckoning aligned with my own throughout my life. The last time I felt this kind of connection to a celebrity memoir was reading Eliot Page's, which, at one point, had me sobbing by the roadside while listening to the audiobook. I wasn't reduced to tears by Tommy's partly because I read it in print and perhaps because of the tone she struck throughout which was less tragic and more curious about the intersections of all aspects of her identity. I cannot wait to see how her art blossoms and what other stories she chooses to share in all her various mediums of talent.

good book about tommy life and marriage and her decision to change her gender. It was interesting learning about their rise to fame and their marriage. good book.
