Reviews

Seldom do we come across an author who is brave enough to write with such true grit and honesty. NMNC uniquely reflects the NZ experience of this life-changing journey. It is a must read for everyone interested in, or pursuing, a medical or surgical transition.
Rowena Palmer Clinical Psychologist, MSc(Hons). Dip Clin Psych.
A very gritty, gutsy, moving memoir of one man's coming of age in the wrong body, and his decision to undergo full transition. It's frank, unflinching, with bold streaks of humour: come to it with your open and lion hearts.
Emma Neale Poet and Novelist
I'm not much of a reader but the moment I started I binged NMNC in two days. The engaging and immediate plot and style drew me in; humour and pathos in beautiful balance.
Nicholas Macaulay Rockstar Hairdresser
Brooks' memoir is a vital, groundbreaking work about all manner of transitions, delivered with equal parts gallows humour and radical vulnerability. It's a wild, gonzo, shocking, explicit and extremely funny exploration of identity and community - and that's just the bits about teaching high school. His story is raw and often confronting but will leave you awash in kindness and compassion. No shame, nice book.
Dr Erin Harrington Writer / Cultural Critic
A gift of a story, shared wisely, generously and hilariously.
