Non-Fiction Memoir
Seventeen-year-old Arin Andrews shares all the hilarious,
painful, and poignant details of undergoing gender
reassignment as a high school student in this winning memoir. We’ve all felt uncomfortable in our own skin at some point,
and we’ve all been told that “it’s just a part of growing
up.” But for Arin Andrews, it wasn’t a phase that would
pass. He had been born in the body of a girl and there
seemed to be no relief in sight… In this revolutionary memoir, Arin details the journey that
led him to make the life-transforming decision to undergo
gender reassignment as a high school junior. In his
captivatingly witty, honest voice, Arin reveals the
challenges he faced as a girl, the humiliation and anger he
felt after getting kicked out of his private school, and all
the changes—both mental and physical—he experienced once his
transition began. Arin also writes about the thrill of
meeting and dating a young transgender woman named Katie
Hill…and the heartache that followed after they broke up. Some Assembly Required is a true coming-of-age story about
knocking down obstacles and embracing family, friendship,
and first love. But more than that, it is a reminder that
self-acceptance does not come ready-made with a manual and
spare parts. Rather, some assembly is always required.
