I started reading "If I Was Your Girl" by Meridith Russo today. It was recommended by a trans girl in the trans support group I facilitate through work
So far, it has a terrible habbit of punching me right in the feels. I've clipped out so many different bits already, and im only like 5% the way in. Definitely liking it so far, even if it is a bit... gender-envy from time to time.
Clippings like
"I wanted to avoid whatever waited in the apartment, to wander around until midnight and sneak in once he fell asleep, but even at dusk the heat was still overpowering."
or
"I believed he was earnest, or at least I wanted to, but my fear had been carved into me over years and years, and it wasn’t going to be reasoned with or ignored."
its really eating me
