2025 book 29

 Emily St. James' Woodworking

This is a funny/bittersweet/touching novel about a teacher in South Dakota coming to terms with being trans, but the only trans person she knows in real life is one of her students (who is also a POV character). I loved both women and their relationship, really stellar writing for both of them. I had some mixed feelings about the plot in the second half, but ended up really liking how it wrapped up. A-.
