A review by beckykphillips
Cleavage: Men, Women, and the Space Between Us by Jennifer Finney Boylan

emotional hopeful inspiring medium-paced

5.0

An absolutely incredible memoir from start to finish, Jenny Boylan is absolutely one of my new (to me) favorite authors and I will absolutely be going through her back catalog to read her other works after starting off with Cleavage. Throughout Cleavage, Jenny tells stories from her life pre- and post-transition and how the world was different when she presented as a man versus now as her true self. Her writing is just beautiful and immersive and her candor is eye-opening for anyone who has wondered about gender identity and what it means to transition. 

I honestly cannot say enough good things about this book and what a ~time~ for this book to be released with the current administration rapidly stripping trans people of their rights. Please read this and recommend it to all your friends, too - the world is better off with Jenny and her writing in it. 

Thank you so much to NetGalley and to Celadon Books for the advanced copy.
