"""Evans is one of the only authors writing trans characters who can really, truly, utterly write. . . . The writing in Ida is gorgeous. It's strong and powerful. It gives the book a distinct voice, somehow both poetic and simple. I can sink into it completely and lose myself. It was the first thing I ever noticed about Evans' work, and Ida shows it off even more beautifully. . . . Evans writes *people.* Wonderful, real, natural people. . . . This is what effortless, positive rep and diversity look and feel like. . . . This book--and this author--come wholeheartedly recommended. If you're a reader, read Ida. And if you're an author, take notes."" --Trans Books"
