Paperback. LONGLISTED FOR THE CENTER FOR FICTION FIRST NOVEL PRIZE 2025Named A Best Book of 2025 by Vox, Elle, NPR, Bustle, Marie Claire, Chicago Review of Books, Chicago Public Library, Brooklyn Public Library, Them, Xtra, and Autostraddle Matty Maggiacomo's March Book Club Pick"Writing a funny book is hard. Writing a convincing takedown of one of America's most popular prejudices is harder still. Writing a funny novel in which complex, imperfect characters make a compelling case for one of our culture's most maligned groups-that takes smarts and heart. Fortunately for her readers, St. James is in full possession of both." -Meredith Maran, Washington PostAn unforgettable and heartwarming book-club debut following a trans high school teacher from a small town in South Dakota who befriends the only other trans woman she knows: one of her students.Erica Skyberg is thirty-five years old, recently divorced-and trans. Not that she's told anyone yet. Mitchell, South Dakota, isn't exactly bursting with other trans women. Instead, she keeps to herself, teaching by day and directing community theater by night. That is, until Abigail Hawkes enters her orbit.Abigail is seventeen, Mitchell High's resident political dissident and Only Trans Girl. It's a role she plays faultlessly, albeit a little reluctantly. She's also annoyed by the idea of spending her senior year secretly guiding her English teacher through her transition. But Abigail remembers the uncertainty-and loneliness-that comes with it. Besides, Erica isn't the only one struggling to shed the weight of others' expectations.As their unlikely friendship evolves, it comes under the scrutiny of their community. And soon, both women-and those closest to them-are forced to ask: Who are we if we choose to hide ourselves? What happens once we disappear into the woodwork?Detransition Baby meets Fleishman is in Trouble in this remarkable debut novel from an incisive contemporary voice. A story about the awkwardness of growing up and the greatest love story of all, that between us and our friends, Woodworking is a tonic for the moment and a celebration of womanhood in all its multifaceted joy."A testament to the power of intergenerational trans stories . . . dazzling." -VOGUE"Big-hearted and hilarious, an ode to authenticity and a must-read in our current times." -Shelby Van Pelt, New York Times bestselling author of Remarkably Bright Creatures Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
