Review Summary
This is a story about a man's brain that's transplanted into the body of his female secretary, at which point (a) he starts hearing the voice of his female secretary in his head, and (b) he immediately starts acting like a girl, kissing and making out with any and all guys available. That's it.
Unless you're a big fan of transvetitism and sex change operations, this is definitely one of Heinlein's lesser works.
