This did draw me in when the author revealed that she's trans, and makes this stand out from the typical "I learned love from a dog" story. It's done well and makes me want to know more about this person.
But this doesn't read like a story. It reads like a really long essay. It was all telling, very little showing. Perhaps that's this author's style. I just didn't find it emotionally engaging.
