This story deals with interesting topics such as friendship, transgender, and lesbianism. We have to deal with these subjects, and I applaud the writer's courage in bringing these to the fore. Thanks for an insightful review.

This story seems to touch on sensitive topics with smooth clarity (except for the missing answer to the philosophical question). Thank you for your thoughtful and thorough review, and congrats on BOTD.

Thank you for your carefully worded review. While parts of the book sound interesting, I believe I will pass on it due to the explicit sexual content.

This book will appeal to adults exploring their gender. I like that the book is enjoyable, often laced with vivid description; however, the Lesbian and transgender themes won't sit well with me. Otherwise congrats on the BOTD!

Marc Marci is a story of transgendering, true love, friendship and how to deal with trauma. It's good when we have good and supporting people around us who help us when we're going through hard times. Marc Marci will help us get a more detailed information into why some people opt for transgendering. I'll definitely love to read this book. Thanks for the review

I've never read a book that showcased the transition of a transgender and everything that went into making that decision. I'm going to add this to my must-read list for this year because this topic intrigues me. Congrats on being BOTD!

Very captivating book. I only read the intro and just could not put it down until I was finished. Now I want to know what happens after they were at the lake.Very profound. Very relevant book to what is happening in our society. Helps one understand people and to be very accomodating. We not to judge people because we don't know where they are coming from. All the hurt all the pains they are going through and what they have to overcome to be accepted back into society. It's just too much. Love the book. Thumbs up to Marc Marci.👍👍

I love stories on young love. Growing through one's life losses to still make out space for love is something to admire about this book.

It must have been quite a revelation for Marc to discover her was happier as Marci. The descriptions are very vivid and characters so well-developed that the reader is drawn in. I enjoyed the sample and look forward to reading the book. Great review! I enjoyed it.

Marc Marci is an interesting story about a man named Marc that has suffered a great loss. He decides to go on a backpacking trip in Europe. When he arrives on the English coast he meets two women named Cristina and Gabrielle. They befriend him and encourage him to explore the female in him. Another tragedy strikes and Marc realizes he is really a woman inside and he wants to make a permanent change in becoming Marci. He returns to the U.S. where Marci's story really begins. Will she fall in love, find marriage and have the children she really wants. Transgender and lesbian issues are discussed and I imagine somewhere along the line Marci goes through transgender surgery. Nor knowing much about this surgery I do not think Marci will be able to have children but she could adopt. She is worried about people learning the truth about her but her Uncle Jack is very supportive. One needs to read the book to find out what happens in her future. Good review.
