Best Woman
Format:
Pre-order:
Julia’s beloved younger brother is getting married, meaning she has to leave her hard-won New York City life behind for a week, and trade drag brunches for the strip malls and golf courses of Florida.
Since coming out as a trans woman a few years ago, her family have been supportive – seamlessly (well, almost) getting the hang of her new pronouns. But wedding-induced pressures – including an uptight bride-to-be, a hometown hookup buddy who Julia can’t seem to resist, and tricky dynamics with her divorced parents – force Julia to confront the complications that have been bubbling underneath the surface of her closest relationships, while attempting to fulfill her sisterly duties as Best Woman.
To top it all: Kim Cameron is the maid of honour. Kim – the gorgeous, self-assured girl that Julia had crushed on hard back in high school. When the two women reconnect ahead of the wedding festivities, Julia is so overwhelmed she tells a teeny tiny little lie in order to gain Kim’s sympathy – a lie that quickly snowballs out of control . As Julia and Kim grow closer, Julia struggles to distinguish between truth and lies, questions the intentions of those she thought she knew, and must ask herself: what does she deserve, and what is she willing to do to get it? And more importantly… what does she deserve from herself?
