This book is brilliant! For me at least it was like coming home. The stories are diverse, spectacular literary snapshots of life in the shadowlands of gender. It was confirmation and a challenge and I just can't recommend it enough.

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this book... even if you can't relate to transgenders you can relate to the emotions and raw reality expressed among the pages. Great book, easy read, highly recommended!

I bought this book a few year ago after hearing the phenominal music of the Ember Swift Band (featuring Lyndell Montgomery). It is a truly poetic book with wonderful pictures (although sometimes repeditive). I HIGHLY recomend it!

I saw Lyndell play with Ember Swift a year ago and more recently we got the book from a friend of Ember's. I borrowed it and read it practically in one sitting cuz I couldnt put it down. It's transfixing, they way they write and I love how it's from 4 different view points, sometimes touching on the same event. It's hard to find in actual stores so please pick it up online! or go to one of Ember's shows if her and Lyndell are comin near you, it'd definitely definitely worth it!

"Boys Like Her" is a GREAT BOOK!!!! It's incredibly well-written, each member of Taste This has their own unique voice in their writing and it makes for very eclectic, great reading, and the photographs are awesome!!!! This book and the contents of it definitely shine some light on transgender and gender issues in general, and that info is much needed!! This book helped me to come to terms with my own gender identity, and made me feel proud about whoever/whatever I am!!! :D All the members of Taste This are AWESOME!!!! So go buy this already!!!!

I'm a big fan of this book -- it's quite simply amazing. I also like Close to Spider Man, a book of stories by Taste This member Ivan Coyote, about growing up dyke in the far north. Check it out!

If her writing is anything like her playing, THis book will be intoxicating.

this book gave a face and a story to trans politics. it made me think more about my self and how to live more freely.

No matter what your gender or identification(butch, femme, trans, etc..) you'll find this book to be one of the most touching/thought- provoking books you've ever read.

This book made me laugh cry and smile, i was moved, amussed, and captivated! The photos kept me up at night. The honesty of the authors tempted me to write and express myself as openly as they do. A wonderfully yummy read! lizzie
