Inquisitive and expansive, Like a Boy but Not a Boyexplores author andrea bennett's experiences with gender expectations, being anon-binary parent, and the sometimes funny and sometimes difficult task of living ina body. The book's fourteen essays also delve incisively into theinterconnected themes of mental illness, mortality, creative work, class, andbike mechanics (apparently you can learn a lot about yourself through trueing awheel).

In ""Tomboy,""andrea articulates what it means to live in a gender in-between space, and whyone might be necessary; ""37 Jobs 21 Houses"" interrogates the notion that thekey to a better life is working hard and moving house. And interspersedthroughout the book is ""Everyone Is Sober and No One Can Drive,"" sixteenstories about queer millennials who grew up and came of age in small Canadiancommunities.

With the samepoignant spirit as Ivan Coyote's TomboySurvival Guide, Like a Boy addresses the struggle to findacceptance, and to accept oneself; and how one can find one's place whilelearning to make space for others. The book also wonders what it means to be anatheist and search for faith that everything will be okay; what it means tolearn how to love life even as you obsess over its brevity; and how to givebirth, to bring new life, at what feels like the end of the world.

With thoughtfulness and acute observation, andrea bennett reveals intimatetruths about the human experience, whether one is outside the gender binary ornot.
