Roller Girl by Vanessa North

5.0

This book is guaranteed to lower your stress levels. Tina, a transwoman, is newly divorced and figuring out how to live life on her own. When her washing machine goes out in spectacular fashion, the plumber who shows up to fix it is Joe (short for Joanna), and Tina is immediately taken with her. Turns out Joe is a roller derby coach and asks Tina to try out for the team. This book is just a warm hug of female friendship and ladies supporting each other. There’s a little bit of drama between Tina and Joe because without it, there wouldn’t be a story, but this is low-angst good feelings territory right here. Also, roller derby! What’s not to love?
