 Nevada popped onto my radar when I was searching for a book to mark #internationaltransgenderdayofvisibility (31 March). It was the road trip angle that appealed and although that was less of a feature than the blurb led me to believe I really enjoyed my time with the book. I enjoyed the contrast between Maria and James and where they were on with regards to their trans identities. Maria had a strong narrative voice which instantly captured my attention and although she was messy she was also really self-aware which I appreciated. The critique of capitalism was a bonus.
