Although some of the stories contained are, not surprisingly, confronting, dark and painful to read, Paige Wilcox manages to soften the impact for the reader with a dark sense of humour and an openness that is irresistible. The humanity contained in this book is essential for all who wish to know how the world is for so many people who are forced to live outside the mainstream. Her life may not have been mainstream but she reveals so much of her inner dreams and demons to ensure anyone reading with an open mind will immediately connect with her struggles to merely be herself. Those struggles are vast and at times horrific when compared to most of us. But her revelations about acceptance and rejection (and downright hatred and violence) from family, friends, lovers and strangers reminds me how we are all connected and our needs are the same deep down. This book and the journey contained is truly a powerful example of braveness and, at times an almost stubborn, insistence of truth and openness. The outer shell is peeled away to reveal the beauty and wounds within. Once you start reading it you wont want to stop!

This book is the first in the series and is the journey of the two (a woman's spirit trapped in the wrong body) transforming to become one. "Outer Shell" took me well outside of my comfort zone in a brilliant way. Every character in this book has unknown gender which revealed in a very powerful way so much unconscious bias within me. It made me feel the discomfort of being inside an alien body, I had to put the book down a couple of times because I got overwhelmed by the described experiences. If every Australian bigot read this book, we would have a far more inclusive nation.
