"Identity" About the book Let’s begin in the middle. Identity is a love story. A very different love story. Lisa and Dana meet in Hawaii. Dana is a played-out-player. Lisa expects to never find true love. Lisa is a male to female transsexual, complete with sexual reassignment surgery. Dana is a lifelong lesbian. The dynamics and difficulties unfold as they live the ups and downs of women falling in love. As they prepare to leave Hawaii, they find there is true love, and they have found it. BUT, time resets, going back to when they first meet in Hawaii. This time Lisa is a pre-op male to female transsexual. She is soon, after returning home, planning sexual reassignment surgery. Dana is a straight man. The dynamics of that combination unfold in a very different way. Lisa finds she is a real woman. Dana finds love where he least expects it. But, not without the turmoil of acceptance. As they prepare to leave Hawaii, they find their true love. NOW, you the reader must decide if Dana is male or female. They meet friends and family and join their life together. Dana’s identity is up to you. I‘m not telling. The story starts with Lisa’s story of her journey from male to female. He failures, disrespect, hate and horrible treatment. All this she survives to find friend and success as a woman. Lisa takes you on her adventures including trips to many places including Singapore. The stress of building a successful business and her journey from male to female leads her to Hawaii.

This is a fascinating book. I don't think I have ever read anything else quite like it. Lisa is a middle aged business woman with her best friend Paula. But a trans woman still in the process of transitioning. As a man, she'd had two wives and now has two grown up children who are having trouble accepting Dad as Mum. This story would be fascinating enough, but exhausted on a business trip she makes a spur of the moment decision to take a few days off on Hawaii, where she meets and falls in love with Dana. The feeling is well and truly mutual but although I won't give too much of the game away, what gender is Dana? And ultimately, does it matter. If you enjoy having your mind opened, you'll love it.
Truly unique story, with great characters. Travel with Lisa on her journey to "happiness" and the deep lessons she learns. Deep, honest and true friendships, and finally love. I did get a little confused as Dana seemed to unintentionally change genders, but it didn't take away from the story.
This is much better than the other stuff this author has done, but again it’s weird she reviews her own stuff to get those ratings up seems sketchy tbh
