Book Description
What is the reason a perfectly extraordinary woman would get entangled in a string of imperfectly extraordinary relationships? For Lovely LeBlanc, a single, thirty-something transgender woman, it could be anything. It could be her sassy attitude. It could be her checkered past. It could simply be pure bad luck. It could be that she is still just not good enough. It could be that she has spent too much time doing the wrong things with the wrong men. Despite finding the strength to become the strikingly beautiful and impressively successful woman Lovely was always supposed to be, she still has not been able to navigate one thing involving-- Love… and all that bullsh*t. Lovely spent her early life on a troubled journey of growing up poor, Black, and queer in a small town outside of New Orleans, and later enduring the equally tough path as an adult becoming her genuine self in the same place. Lovely continued to work towards dispelling all the narratives transgender women are given and to erase any boundaries that do not value her in the consideration of race, friendship, social class, family, work, or most importantly, her path to womanhood. Just as most women Lovely wants true love, but she feels like the chance at it is steadily fading. After years devoted to a string of one imperfectly ordinary relationship after another, now even her past has started to be a threat. She's tried it all, and still nothing has worked, or has it? She has to make the right move because the time is ticking… Lovely’s chance at true love depends on it.
