Great review of Plausible Liars! It’s clear that Lin Wilder has woven a compelling narrative that dives deep into challenging social issues. I appreciate how you highlighted the multi-faceted exploration of both sides of the gender transition debate, especially within the framework of faith and Catholicism.

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!

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.

I've heard several stories about individuals being overwhelmed with regret after transitioning to the other gender. I'm certain the book will help many individuals who are on the fence before they make the ultimate decision. I'm curious about why Joey was rushed to the hospital and how he fell into a coma, though.

Plausible Liars speaks about one of the significant issues going on in this society. It is important to appreciate the author for creating a Book related to a serious issue. As a female or male, it is impossible to understand the hormone changes that takes place in the body of a transgender. This book may explain about that plot specifically. Congratulations on the BOTD! Great review.

This novel seems to be an emotionally stirring and thought-provoking tale that tackles contemporary societal challenges related to gender change and children. The story is made more complex by the presence of several points of view, which range from the motivations of the individuals to the examination of Catholicism's effect. Congrats on BOTD.
