I love this so much, and I haven’t read a nonfiction book quite like this before. PRETTY BOYS: LEGENDARY ICONS WHO REDEFINED BEAUTY is an excellent guide for the LGBTQ+ readers, featuring historical accounts of people (mostly men) who live outside the gender binary. From BTS to Ramses the Great, David Yi explores beauty and expression from around the world and throughout time.

There self care guides sprinkled throughout which is an added bonus. As a genderfluid person I found a lot of it very helpful even though the target audience is men or masc people.

The book is inclusive of race and culture, and there are a few features on trans men and nonbinary people as well, which is much appreciated.

For anyone who wants to learn more about beauty for men and the many ways to express gender, I highly recommend PRETTY BOYS.

Thank you to Bookish First and the publisher for an ARC.
