Summary

Coming out. Coming in. Coming home.

Adam Prashaw's life was full of surprises from the moment he was born. Assigned female at birth, and with parents who had been expecting a boy, he spent years living as "Rebecca Danielle Adam Prashaw" before coming to terms with being a transgender man. Adam captured hearts with his humor, compassion, and intensity. After a tragic accident cut his life short, he left a legacy of changed lives and a trove of social media posts documenting his life, relationships, transition, and struggles with epilepsy, all with remarkable transparency and directness.

In Soar, Adam, Soar, his father, a former priest, retells Adam's story alongside his son's own words. From early childhood, through coming out first as a lesbian and then as a man, and his battles with epilepsy and refusal to give in, it chronicles Adam's drive to define himself, his joyful spirit, and his love of life, which continues to conquer all.

Struggling with this one

Due to the subject matter, I hesitated about writing a less than positive review but other reviewers have given me a good heads up in the past so I'm returning the favour.

I'm about halfway through this one and I'm struggling with it.

Not the story - that is wonderful and sad in equal measure. Adam was clearly a very special man and was very much loved by his Dad.

The issue I have is the reading out loud of the vast amount of hashtags and emojis. The narrator really stresses them and it really grates on my ear and it is completely spoiling the book for me. I'm sure this wouldn't be an issue if I was reading them in a physical book.

So I will most likely return it and buy the kindle version instead.
