About this listen
We're not all like Caitlyn Jenner.
Hi, I'm Tish Mellon, a transgender woman in her 20s and author of this audiobook. My publisher calls the book a transgender memoir, but I'm too young to be writing biographies and memoirs. I'd rather think of it as a suspenseful "coming of age" book, a battle of the sexes, a chess game. To me, it's not a sleepy memoir; it's a fast-paced audio.

I hate sports, and he is football royalty. I like quiet and predictable, but he's sex and swagger personified. I didn't particularly care for Saint Stevenson the first moment I laid eyes on him, but his warped brain seemed to process our initial meeting as foreplay. I have a meticulous five-year plan in place for myself and my career, but now this huge, cocky, self-absorbed quarterback who I've been assigned to at work is seriously f--king it up.

Well, none have lasted longer than a week. Most boys leave in tears. Ruthie Midona will work in Providence’s front office, and be at the Parlonis' beck and call, forever. That’s sort of her life plan. If Ruthie can run the place in her almost-retired bosses’ absence, with no hijinks/hiccups, she has a shot at becoming the new manager.

After breaking off her engagement, 30-something Andi Cutrone yields New England to her ex and flees home to Long Island. There, she devotes her time to teaching in the writing program at Brooklyn University and overanalyzing her past failed relationships. But then she meets Devin, a male escort whose client list seems to include at least half of the accomplished women she knows. He is handsome, charismatic, and absolutely out of her league, but she can’t deny he has a certain…something. And so Andi makes him a proposition: If he will teach her to shed her sexual inhibitions, she will teach him to be a writer.

An exquisitely cerebral, transgendered Lolita, sortof
While the are plenty of differences between Nabokov’s famous novel and Tish Mellon’s novelette, the theme of a seemingly exploited, sexually nascent subject beginning to own their power is nearly identical between the two. In addition, Mellon takes her time to develop each scene, situation and supporting character with the same, thorough flourish. The story is so well told that, if you came in search of explicit, fappably sexual content (of which there is little to none), it is very easy to forget that goal, zip up your pants and enjoy the narrative.
Invariably, this story is a set-up for up-and-cumming content, and I look forward to her subsequent chapters. All in all, it is a tale of transition from male-minded person into feminized sex kitten, and, in spite of the absence of a hot-and-heavy payoff at the end, it is a tale that feels complete.
My only critique is for what feels like brevity. Transitioning comes with many milestones that each feel like a point of no return. With firsts like trying on panties, applying lipstick and self-exploration of previously forbidden erogenous zones, the bulk of these firsts usually occur prior to making actual physical contact with someone else. In Mellon’s telling, they seem time-compressed and under-leveraged. Her protagonist moves through these firsts either without significance, or simultaneously.
Of course, as an older reader, my estimation of this could be more related to the abundance of social stigma from my time applied to Mellon’s more modern experience, so take it with a grain of salt.
The voice narrator does a great job of striking a balance between inflection that adds to but doesn’t upstage it source materials. Her tone is femme enough to sell the experience but not so girly that it seems out of place.
For the money, I would recommend enjoying this book immediately that it might sink in awhile before Mellon releases the next evolution. To wait and binge would be a waste of her fine authoring. If her follow on is a good as this set up, it’s worth the suspense.

Trish's writting grabed my heart as a trsns women myself. This is not a story of erotica. This is the story of a boy that grows into the amazing women writer Trish is today. This is a beautiful story of a boy that grows into the woonder women writer she became today. I cannot wait to hear more of Trish's fantastic journey into womenhood.

Well written/performed but...
It’s concerning that this was about a man who was basically grooming a young boy to dress and act like a girl . . . To train him to be a prostitute. The man brainwashes the boy to like it. And from what it sounds like, the boy does end up liking it. The boy was not transgender before meeting this man. The boy had no interest in being a female. He only starts to like it after being brainwashed by the man. I appreciate the honesty of the memoir, but I would have preferred an accompanied message implying “this is wrong” or “don’t let what happened to me happen to you.” It reads like audio porn for pedophiles. And LGBTs and their supporters are supposed to celebrate stories like this? Stories that encourage sexually exploiting and confusing kids? Not good.
