Meghan used to think she was a man. Sort of. She'd had her doubts, but she'd rolled with it as best she could. She would sit in the darker corner of her favorite coffee shop and watch the staff and regulars interact with each other, drinking her usual cup of drip. If anybody mentioned anything about dragons, she could join the conversation.
She lived upstairs in one of the low income apartments above the shop. Until just a few days ago, when she woke up in her true form.
Now, everyone can see clearly that she's a dragon. And strangely, they're all treating her better, more naturally. Like this is how it should have been all along.
But the transformation does bring its challenges.
And it isn't just her life that's going to change forever because of this.
The whole world must reckon with dracomorphosis, and what it means for survival of life on Earth.

Also, just a good way to back it up and make sure the story you love is on as many devices as possible.
This book could be considered an allegory for the alienation that queer people and other minorities face from the hegemony of a society dominated by the straight white male. It could be considered an allegory if it was just about a girl who was also a dragon, but it very much is not. Because it deals with those topics very overtly.
Meghanology is a book about being treated as other, and most importantly, in my opinion, a book that serves as a reminder that no matter who you are, no matter who you consider yourself to be, there are people out there who will love and support you for being that person.
Also, it's cool as all hells, because you get to read about being a dragon. B)
