Nicole Maines’s new book, It Gets Better…Except When It Gets Worse

Nicole Maines‘s new book, It Gets Better…Except When It Gets Worse, is a candid, humorous, and unflinching memoir that explores her experiences growing up as a transgender woman and the misconceptions surrounding “happy endings.” Maines, best known as TV’s first live-action transgender superhero on Supergirl, reflects on her journey from rural Maine to Hollywood, detailing moments of triumph and setbacks alike. The memoir dives into her family’s fight for her rights, culminating in a landmark case for transgender students, and discusses her journey in achieving her dreams—while debunking myths around happiness and identity.

With wit and honesty, Nicole Maines addresses the persistent challenges queer and trans youth often face, such as feeling pressured to meet unrealistic standards of “self-acceptance.” She reminds readers that personal growth and happiness are ongoing, not a single achievement. It Gets Better…Except When It Gets Worse is both a personal story and a wider commentary on resilience, making it a powerful read for anyone navigating their identity journey.

And the the book is officially a national bestseller!
