I read this book during our summer holiday, and I am so sorry that I couldn't write my review immediately after I had finished it. It would have been much longer and maybe more helpful. The best thing about this book is Bobbi Logan. I am not completely "virgin" in regard of books with transgender characters, but I have never read a book with a transgender woman as a first-person narrative. And to be in Bobbi's head was a great experience. Because Bobbi Logan is a wonderful character that you won't forget and who maybe helps you to learn a bit more about transgender people.
Bobby Logan was born as a man, but in the wrong body. She was married to a woman in her
previous life, came out as gay - though was never really sure she was a girl, she was only sure she wasn't a boy - then later she made the permanent step of gender reassignment surgery.
Now, 5 years after her transition she is a star hairdresser and an owner of a beauty salon in Chicago in the midst of the economic crisis, she is over forty, tries to rebuild her relationship with her ex-wife, she is probably without a chance in love with a man who everyone is in love with, and... a main suspect in a murder case.

Because it is simply impossible not to feel with/for Bobby, not to admire her personality. This book will change you, it will give you an insight into a transgender world, that you probably would have never got to know.
What I found also great in this book: it has a heartwarming satisfying ending that made me happy, but didn't give me a feeling of being manipulated into it. It was soooo right and sooooo touching!..
I truly hope that this book will find many many many fans. It is so different from everything I read, in a WOW way, I can't recommend it highly enough.
Great mystery.
Great characters.
Great writing.
Great plot.
