This is a really good story. One of my favorites in fact. Janet Nichola James can write some touch and go stuff. Sometimes you get reluctant/nc gay fem, with the humiliation angle. So not brilliant. However, this book is different. An effeminate man is attacked on the way home from a night out by a gang of youths. Severe damage to his genitals means that he loses the use of his male anatomy and ends up without balls. He has a high estrogen count, so basically he starts to transition.
This is different than your usual transition story. A lot of regret, self doubt, growing awareness and acceptance. The psychological aspects are quite good, apart from the good doctor using the COGIATI test. Other than that, a good read, viable plot and a few tear jerk moments. Not your usual transition with unicorns and bunnies and not a cheer leading practice in site.
