Second Chances: A Time Traveling Gender Bending Adventure
Tony is a 37-year-old recent divorcee who, on the eve of his 20-year high school reunion, starts to question the decisions he made when he was a teenager. A chance encounter with a seemingly supernatural being thrusts him back in time to his senior year in 1997 - but as a female version of himself. Given a vague mission with a two-week deadline, Tony, now Christina, is suddenly in a race against time to confront his own past and figure out what he’s been put here to do, or be forced to stay this way and take the long way back to his future.

Excellent Story
Well written. Unfortunately also very triggering for me. But I loved it all the same.
Spoilers: a devil’s decision is a hard thing to go through and is incredibly cruel for the entity to put the protagonist through. And this was what was so triggering for me. My parents did that to me with all the enmity they could muster. I told them I was transitioning. They told me to choose my family or being as happy as I can be in my own body. For me it was a choice of keeping your entire family and be so miserable having a body that wasn’t right I’d die very young, or have a body I could be happy in and live a long life but lose everyone I had ever loved. It was horrible, and unlike this story. My family, 28 years later, still think I’m a monster and keep their backs to me, unless they want to send nasty messages trying to hurt me.
I will never understand why they hated me so much, even from the get go. As a child I was lousy at hiding the signs I was their daughter.
Anyway, so yeah that was the hardest part for me in this story as it brought back those memories and all the feelings and pain. I envy the protagonist so much. Their family loved them regardless of who they were. I wish it was always that way for all of us. I’m glad for the happy ending and admit I wasn’t expecting the resolution of a lot of little loose ends which was really nice. I highly recommend this read.

Sweet and amazing
This story was so good. I cried twice, once in the story, and once at the ending. In fact, I just finished the story and the tears are still flowing. It’s really that good. Sometimes when you read so much that you think you’ve run out of wonderful stories to read, you find a book like this one that reminds that there are still hidden treasures to find.
