[Review] Pretty by KB Brookins

Written from a transmasculine nonbinary perspective, this memoir is an exploration of what it means to grow up Black and queer. Very raw, authentic, and thought provoking, with an incredible amount of illuminating information, including a lot of good commentary on socially ascribed gender roles—with particular emphasis on Black expectations—and the difficulties involved in growing up/being trans.

Eye-opening in the extreme.

Note: I received this book as an ARC. It is scheduled to be released May 28, 2024.
