Rate this book
Harry Josfold is the product of a loving, caring and Christian family. His parents believe in being hands on parents. They are fully involved, checking he has done his homework, examining his school report and take a pride in his acting skills. Harry was not the sport loving boy his father wanted, but Mr Josfold was nevertheless, proud of a son who took prizes at school and the lead part in school plays. Harry’s Hamlet received high praise in the local press. At Drama School his professor regards Harry as outstanding, the best student in ten years, bound for a successful career. The trouble is Harry prefers to be called Holly. Luckily he finds friends and one very special girl.

Holly

I didn't read the first version but I could not see it imagine Holly dying. The story overall did not have much tragedy although the romance between Holly and Eleanor was well portrayed it seems that when it comes to it transwomen fair better with other women. Another great read looking forward to more.

Singles you didn’t kill Holly. I know that that ending is all too common for transgender people. But I like this ending much better.

I am in shock at the ending of a story I really enjoyed

This was a really good read with a main character who was interesting and fun to get to know. Harry was a pleasant young student sharing a home with two older guys. Quickly things changed and instead three girls moved in. For Harry's 18th birthday the girls organised a tarts and vicars party. Pressed into going as a girl it revived old feelings and soon Holly was in residence and there to stay.

I won't say how the story ends, just that it came as a real shock.

Harry Josfeld is 17, wants to be an actor, his father wants him to be an athlete and both his parents are strong Christians. He's attending a university.

He's living with two guys who are total slobs. A girl moves in and the other two expect her to do all the cleaning up but things don't go their way and the two eventually both move out. Two more girls move in. They help Harry transform into Holly which is something he really wants to do and to be.

The girls are extremely supportive. Harry's parents disagree with his choice to transform into a female. He also is told that, if he does that, his acting career will be over since there aren't that many women's parts. Fortunately, though, there are alternatives.

Eleanor is the main female character. She's a lesbian and is most definitely into Holly. Her parents pay for some physical surgery for Holly. Things go well for Holly when she changes her records at the school but, as expected, there is something that goes terribly wrong for her also.

Holly receives a great deal of support in the story and things go extremely well for her, except for the one incident. Thus the story is much more upbeat than similar stories when the transition process results in a whole lot of negative things happening. Still, it's a nice story.
