This is a serious subject, and it is wrong to bank on a minor's judgment when making life-changing choices. This book interests me as it discusses a significant issue and because I've read and seen so much about the misery caused by misguidance. I appreciate the author's choice of topic. A thorough review by the OBC reviewer. Congrats on BOTD!

"Plausible Liars" by Lynn Wilder is a book that essentially deals with the issue of gender and sex in the modern age. Dr. McCall and reporter Kate Townsend are facing charges for hate crime. I like that the book is unpredictable.

The narrative, influenced by Catholicism, is emotionally charged and well-edited. It tackles the issues of gender transition in children and detransitioning, presenting balanced perspectives. Readers interested in faith-based explorations of modern societal challenges will enjoy it.

This book addresses a controversial, important and current topic. I believe that in today's society there are people who may intentionally encourage children to doubt their biological gender. This seems like a book only for readers with an open mind regarding religion and transgenderism.

Plausible Liars by Lin Wilder is a fictional story that sheds light on an important social issue. It's the story about Joey who wants to detransition and requests Dr. Lindsey McCall for help. Dr. McCall and an investigative journalist have been indicted for a hate crime. It's a unique plot and it'll be an interesting read. Congratulations on the BOTD!

Excellent review! Your analysis of the characters, plot complexities, and the moral and ethical dilemmas presented in the book provides clear insight into its depth and significance.

A crisp informative review that does well to deliver vital information concerning " Plausible Liars."
The title of this book is captivating, and so is the content.
I remember the panic that ensued from the parents in my hometown about gender choices being available in school.
Humans are who they are in so many spectrums of possibilities, and it contributes to a messy world sometimes. I saw a documentary not far back about a child being born with both male and female organs, and the parents made a culturally influenced decision on which one the child had to remove, which later negatively impacted the child (to adulthood).
I like Father John's quote that leads your review. This quote may be the reason that leads my consideration of engaging the matters in this book.
Congratulations to the author. It is evident that the research is impeccable in this book!

I don't personally believe in gender transitioning for young children; this is a decision that needs to be reserved only for fully developed adults (age 25). This is not a book for me due to the topic, but thanks for the great review nonetheless.
