The theme of this book is not really my cup of tea so i may have to pass, but i loved the idea of finding one's self like Marci eventually did.

This isn't something I would have chosen to read, but the author treats issues with great delicacy. The trauma experience that triggered the character's journey is more than anyone should have to deal with.

I’m looking forward to digging into novel to find out how Marc’s life is transformed by his newfound friends Cristina and Gabrielle who encouraged him to explore the female in him and how he interacted with his community as a transgender Marci. The themes are interesting and timely and relevant.

"Marc Marci" by Larry G. Goldsmith is a story of romance, friendship, and self-discovery. Marc, a teen-boy, transformed to a girl and became Marci. The reviewer mentioned a ''philosophical question". I anticipate reading this book. Congrats on BOTD.

It´s interesting to find books about these kind of themes, and the way in which you express so plus the plot´s nature to feel yourself in the story made it look like a appealing reading. Overall, good review!

Due to my beliefs I will not be reading this book however for anyone who's interested in learning more about their sexuality and wants to know more about that journey and how to tackle and navigate that part of their lives this would be a good read for them to check out. Thanks for the amazing review

Interesting book on LGBTQI+ issues and how the main character tackles the transition into being female with her Jewish faith. Thanks for the helpful review!

'Official Review: Marc Marci' by Larry G. Goldsmith presents a good picture of the story of romance for readers. It provides the readers with an in-depth view of the engrossing romantic tale. The point that the lesbian and transgender themes are approached as a normal healthy way of being in the story is worth mentioning in the review. Also, as mentioned in the review, the point that the book is filled with romance, friendship, and much more is remarkable for readers. It was great to learn that the book is recommendable to those who are exploring their gender and to friends and family of those that support them!

I loved the author's approach in explaining the discovery of the feminine side of Marc and realizing he was meant to be a woman. Since this subject cr is controversial to many, I appreciated how the author introduces the subject matter in baby steps and then full-on blast in your face. Thank you for writing such a captivating review!

I’ll admit the intro already sounds enticing. I’m sure the rest of the book will follow suit.

In life, when one is surrounded with genuine family and friends, there's nothing impossible. This in turn makes life a lot easier. No one should be an island! This book just confirm that to me.
