Jazz Jennings, like Oprah, speaks like 75% in Inspirational Sayings, but like Oprah, she sells the shit out of them. I wasn't sure I'd get into this book tbh–I felt like it was maybe aimed more either at kids/teens questioning their gender identity, or maybe people who want a Trans 101, but Jazz (who reads the audiobook) has a really sincere tone that really works here–she's open and funny about some of the struggles she's gone through, but also super aware and obviously super moved by the fact that a lot of trans kids haven't had the support she's had. I teared up like ten thousand times listening to it.
I do think it would be great especially for trans kids/teens (or parents/friends/etc of trans kids/teens...so like, most people really), but Jazz's life story is funny and moving for anyone. She reads the audiobook herself and does a killer Obama impression in it.
