Really excellent memoir. Not only does Boylan write beautifully about her own experiences, but she's able to get inside the head of her wife and her friends and explore their perspectives as well. That can't be easy for any writer, even the most talented ones. She's Not There is one of the best books about gender identity I've ever read. It's funny and emotional and honest and conversational, and Boylan never sugarcoats the tough parts to make herself look better. I highly recommend it.
