A review by pastelwriter
The Bride Was a Boy by Chii

hopeful informative fast-paced

3.5

This was nice! It’s written very much in a way to be informative, so it can be helpful to others. 

As someone who is familiar with trans issues, this didn’t bring much to the table. It was still a sweet and informative perspective on the life of a Japanese trans woman. I very much hope it reaches more of its target audience (those more unfamiliar with trans issues and the trans experience). 

I’m also glad that Chii’s experience (all things considered) was a more positive one. Her life certainly wasn’t easy, but she had her family to support her. She found a loving husband. Seems like things worked out well for her!
