The True Love Story When a Wife Becomes a Husband

Average rating2
When Lucky Bradley married his wife 25 years ago, he had the happily ever after he'd always wanted. Then, 20 years into their marriage, he found himself in a same sex marriage, as his wife transitioned from wife to husband. True love wins out as they explain what this means for them and their relationship in Accidentally Gay, the blog that chronicled the day-by-day transformation of this happily married couple. When Wolsey married Lucky, he never thought he could be his true self. After 20 years, he took a chance, and transitioned female to male. To his joy, his husband accepted him, and was his biggest cheerleader throughout the process. But most of all, he loved him throughout the arduous physical and emotional process. Some love stories do have happy endings.

I was really looking forward to reading the story of Lucky and Wolsey. I don't know of any other books like this, from the perspective of someone inside the relationship. Unfortunately, the writing was not very good. It was very simplistic and choppy so you could never really sink into the story. But mostly, I just wish there had been more editing. There was so much repetition, I found myself skimming through large sections.
As for the story itself, I'm reluctant to give my opinion on their love story. I didn't necessarily understand or agree with Lucky's thought processes, but it's not my relationship.
Ultimately, I can't help but be thrilled that there is such a thing as a relationship surviving this sort of transformation. I can't imagine there are many out there that do.
Thank you to Netgalley and Riverdale Avenue Books for my copy to review.
