Pretty: A Memoir

In this powerful memoir-in-essays, KB Brookins explores beauty, gender, race, and survival through the lens of a Black, queer, and trans experience. With sharp wit and lyrical insight, Pretty confronts societal expectations while reclaiming what it means to be seen, to be loved, and to exist on one’s own terms.

~ Included for its bold interrogation of identity and celebration of self-definition. A striking work of queer memoir that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. ~
