Critics Review
“Corey’s debut novel is a rough and brutal look at the consequences that non-gender-affirming families and schools can have on individuals and what it really means to be a man.” –Booklist
“With humor and sensitivity, M. E. Corey reminds us that transition is a vital part of growing up and in doing so, evokes empathy and understanding for the transgender experience. Out of Blue Comes Green is an exhilarating feel-good novel about music, first love, and self-discovery that will leave you cheering.”–Kat Falls, author of Dark Life and Inhuman
“A heartfelt debut about navigating the ups and downs of young adulthood while trans–Corey will make you laugh and cry on the same page.”–Sierra Isley, author of In the Ring
“An honest story that emphasizes a person shouldn’t have to conquer so many obstacles and win so many fights just to be their true and authentic self. An extremely relevant and timely book.”–Kim Oclon, author of Man Up
