This is an interesting book, and its strengths lie mainly in the fact that the author is a superb writer.
I know that she has written quite a few previous memoirs, and I felt like I was missing a big part of the story that has probably already been told in those. This one felt a bit piecemeal with parts of her story and her family's story and the stories of the different dogs, like not enough time was spent on either subject.
I did love her statement that the unconditional love we feel from our dogs is actually our unconditional love for them, which is absolutely the truth. I love dogs, I have had many in my life so far and could relate to many of the humorous anecdotes she tells about her dogs.
I have very little experience with transgender people and found this an enlightening look at her life journey. This book made me think about things I had never considered before.
