“This is a novel for our times…an important Black love story that interrogates a multitude of assumptions of what Black love looks like, how it unfolds in communities and complicates the mainstream definition of gender.”
Matt Richardson, Professor of Feminist Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara
"Kim Green's been keeping her literary talent on the down-low--ghosting-writing, teaching, and coaching--but it's her time to shine in Vicissitudes, a beautifully written debut novel about the complexities and commonplaces of black trans/queer relationships. It's a big, open-hearted, love-letter of a book that deserves a wide audience. I adored it.”
Susan Stryker, Transgender History: The Roots of Today's Revolution
“…awesome writing. The beautiful narrative gripped me from the vey beginning. The analogies, metaphors, and descriptions were nearly poetic… a blast and the book was worth the read. I recommend this book to readers who love romance novels, especially those with protagonists who are members of the LGBTQIA+ community”

“Oh, the delight that is basking in the words of Kim Green! Kim's ability to write what we all feel, to play with language, to be bold, vulnerable and funny has found the perfect home in this important and hopeful love story. As the title suggests, Vicissitudes exposes the uncomfortable, controversial and electrifying changes ever-present in human life. It bravely takes a stand for following ones' heart into the unknown.”
Jen Sincero, You Are a Badass: How To Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Living An Awesome Life
“Vicissitudes is an impeccably written story with an exciting mixture of suspense, controversy and enlightenment. I found myself shackled to the story with all of its twists and turns. This story left me to question my own level of consciousness. In a time when people cling to the term, ‘woke,’ this novel creates a tug-of-war with religious principles, cultural acceptance and spirituality. I’m so glad to have read my way into a deeper level of understanding. I look forward to meeting these characters again.”
Lakendra Ford, author, Amaze In Ways
“Kim Green has captured the elation and agony felt by many trans men in their journeys of transformation. I rejoiced in Jahn's adventures through life as a teacher and lover while wrestling with the dynamics of call-out culture and an ever-changing LGBT community's understanding of gender identity and the risks of personal exposure. May his story provide a beacon for other trans men in their quest to find true love and acceptance.”
Zander Keig, LCSW, editor, Manning Up: Transsexual Men on Finding Brotherhood, Family and Themselves
“Vicissitudes is not a trend but a discovery. A novel not for few—but all. I'm honored to be in on the discovery of fair, free, funny, beautiful, heartbreaking and heartfelt love. I say it before bed nightly, ‘Vicissitudes.’ We all need change in the air.”
