You’ve heard of a love triangle, but what about a parenthood triangle? Join the Book Squad for our discussion of Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters. We talk about the complicated relationships between the characters, the connection between trans women and divorced cis women, and why people on Goodreads found this book “shocking.” After that, Kelli interviews SJ Sindu, author of the new novel Blue-Skinned Gods. Tune in on November 15th for our next Othersode with special guest Gabriella Saab, author of The Last Checkmate. Read along with us for our next Bookpisode on Unsettled Ground by Claire Fuller, and check your feeds on November 29th for that episode!
