About this listen

 If you're alive, you can do anything.
If you're reading this, you're not dead.

Seven years ago, Ben was loveless, overweight, in debt and living in his parents' rumpus room, trying to find a way to quietly die. Days passed by in a haze of marijuana smoke and self-loathing.

Then, one day, Ben decided not to die. He decided to change everything - starting with the Ben bit. Becoming Cadance would be more than a gender transition. It would be a transition in every way. It would mean leaving behind a rural Mudgee childhood filled with Frogger, hot chips, Godliness and a forbidden love of Sarah Parker's My Little Pony; and the violence, drugs and secrecy that plagued her twenties. Choosing to live was just the beginning; what mattered was how she existed. She was going to experience the all of it.

Written with dazzling creativity and exuberance, The All of It is a wild coming-of-gender memoir like no other. Tender, tragic, hilarious and life-affirming, it will leave you understanding a little more about trans people, rural Australia, family, millennials and the beautiful contradictions of our kaleidoscopic world.©2022 Cadance Bell (P)2022 Penguin Random House Australia Biographies & Memoirs Witty Funny

I absolutely loved this book. As a Non Binary, Trans, queer person, I find it so great to hear another journey of a trans person. The more of us that tell our tales, the more narratives it creates about trans lives. Also, my family are pretty bogan and I could relate to that a bit. It's always nice when listening to an audio book to find it narrated by the author, it just adds ingredient x. I cried at the end. Not out of sadness (although, there's plenty of hard bits) but out of joy for Cadance. I'm sure we'll hear a lot more from them in the future.
