LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2021
A NEW YORK TIMES TOP 100 BOOKS OF THE 21ST CENTURY
Shortlisted for the 2022 National Book Critics' Circle John Leonard Prize for best first book
As heard on BBC Radio 4's Front Row
'A voraciously knowing, compulsively readable novel' Chris Kraus
'Tremendously funny and sexy as hell' Juliet Jacques
'I loved this very smart book from start to finish, with its beautifully drawn, complicated, and winning characters.' Madeleine Miller
Reese nearly had it all: a loving relationship with Amy, an apartment in New York, a job she didn't hate. She'd scraped together a life previous generations of trans women could only dream of; the only thing missing was a child. Then everything fell apart and three years on Reese is still in self-destruct mode, avoiding her loneliness by sleeping with married men.
When her ex calls to ask if she wants to be a mother, Reese finds herself intrigued. After being attacked in the street, Amy de-transitioned to become Ames, changed jobs and, thinking he was infertile, started an affair with his boss Katrina. Now Katrina's pregnant. Could the three of them form an unconventional family - and raise the baby together?

Intricately crafted & beautiful
Reading the blurb for this book left me a little intimidated... The plot seemed pretty complicated and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to follow. But that initial fear blew over almost immediately once I started reading. The story is (as per the name of my review) beatifully crafted, and really takes you by the hand to explain all of the interpersonal dynamics, each character's relationship with their queerness, and their way to coming to terms with it. I considered myself educated on topics of queerness and trans* identites before reading 'detransition, baby', but learned so much from it that I didn't even know i had to learn. Not only the very underrepresented topic of detransitioning is depicted masterfully in this story, but so much more, such as female bonds, platonic/romantic love, pregnancy and all the difficult emotions that accompany it. And even this doesn't even cover half of the topics that peters manages to weave into this story in such a delicate way. This book truly has it all. An absolute MUST read! -

Raw Depiction of Motherhood
An unexpected pregnancy brings three unlikely women together as they figure out motherhood, queerness and transness! This was such a raw and honest depiction of real life discussions, I really enjoyed these characters and their shared journey! I'm very excited to read "Stag Dance" by this author <3
