Geena Rocero

I went back and forth between 3 and 4 stars. This book is more explicit about sex than I am comfortable with and I have never been interested in beauty contests, glamour, or fashion but I hiked the rating up another star for courage.

I had no previous knowledge about trans beauty contests or that they were so popular in the Philippine culture. It is no wonder that Geena feared being found out in a relationship with men. I hope that our culture will make it safe enough in the future before the relationship progresses. I am very glad that Geena found people who made her feel accepted and comfortable.

I really appreciated how her parents felt about Geena. It is too bad to her papa was an alcoholic and Geena had to deal with his rages when he drank too much.

I recommend this book but be warned about the explicit parts.… (mehr)
