"Shon Faye can break your heart and change your mind in the same moment. Love In Exile is a parade of these instances, a book that for lovers in this era will be both a comfort and a sword." -Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby
"I loved this smart, searching, and moving book. Love in Exile is an exacting and thoughtful exploration of what it is to relate to men, masculinity, power, and gender norms, as a woman and as a trans woman specifically, Shon Faye's clear-sightedness and compassion, both in respect to others and to herself, is what makes her writing so powerful. Both disarming and self-possessed, this book is suffused with curiosity-and it's one that I found as thought-provoking as I found it helpful." -Katherine Angel, author of Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again

Love in Exile is the millennial answer to bell hooks's All About Love."
