    About this ebook

    Chastity Bono is now Chaz. Her decision to "become" a man made headlines around the world, but she is not alone. Transgender men and women frequently appear on television talk shows and reality programs to share their stories. By doing so, they inevitably get the attention they seek, but not necessarily the kind of attention they want. While some come forth in an effort to promote tolerance, acceptance, and understanding in mainstream society, their decision to live as—or in some cases have surgery to become—the opposite gender often sparks curiosity and more visceral reactions born out of ignorance. But this is the other side of the story. Truth Be Told: Adam Becomes Audrey is a tragedy, a comedy, and a love story. It is my story. In vivid detail, I recall how I met, fell in love with, and married the man of my dreams, only to find that he self-identified as and wanted to become a woman. Read what happened after I learned the truth.

      I am very disappointed after reading this book. Probably I had false expectations and that is the main reason I didn't enjoy it. I thought it would tell us how the couple coped with the situation, I thought it would be sensible, I thought there would be a little comedy? I have found none.Like 40% are a retelling of how Alex and Adam/Audrey met. I found it rather boring. A lot of information about horseback riding and the words didn't really flow.As soon as it is 'revealed' that Adam is not Adam but Audrey it got worse and worse. I understand if Alex uses the wrong pronouns when talking about Audrey because she was hurt and didn't really understand it. But right until the end there were always male pronouns and Audrey was still called Adam. I didn't like this.Aside from that the second half of the book is a big pity party in my eyes. It's just.... a lot of venting? After reading the description I thought she would be at Audrey's side, but Audrey wasn't really a part of the second half. I know this book is supposed to show the other side but still. A lot of unnecessary comments made by her family and friends, too. I had the feeling everyone was more or less disgusted by Audrey and poor, poor Alex, who doesn't do anything wrong and is just a victim.This changes a little at the end where the author says how mad she was.I feel I should mention alcohol as a trigger and of course transphobia.I got it as an ARC via NetGalley for free in exchange for a honest review. Thank you.
