Detransition, Baby

Sobre o livro

Reese had built a life many women could only dream of: a stable relationship with her partner Amy, a decent job, and a cozy New York City apartment. Her life was filled with small, comfortable routines, but she still yearned for something more—a child. Everything unraveled when Amy decided to detransition, becoming Ames, and their relationship fell apart. Now, Reese finds herself stuck in a cycle of self-destruction, filling the void of her loneliness through affairs with married men. Ames isn't thriving either. Believing that detransitioning would simplify his life, he instead found himself alienated from Reese, the person he considered his true family. Despite their breakup, Ames can't shake his longing for connection with her. When his boss and lover, Katrina, reveals she’s pregnant and unsure about keeping the baby, Ames sees a glimmer of possibility. Could this unexpected situation be the opportunity to build an unconventional family—with Katrina, Reese, and the baby? In this daring debut, Torrey Peters delves into the raw, untidy realities of gender, identity, and relationships that polite conversation often avoids. With sharp wit and emotional depth, this novel explores the complexities of womanhood and the human desire for connection, delivering a bold and unforgettable story.
