A very wonderful book and I couldn’t believe this was a debut novel. It was very well written and really tugged at the heartstrings to the very end - like literally, it built up with so much joy and then boom sad bomb. In a way I like the way it ended - grant and Amanda don’t exactly have a for sure “they got back together” like what I feel most romances do (even tho I totally believe they did get back together in my hope let me have this and be a hopeless romantic) but I feel in a “realistic sense” it was right for that to happen because it’s something new that a cis straight man has to understand and learn. Definitely wasn’t expecting it but I was super happy with the decision
Overall I was glad to read this book (finally) and highly recommend if anyone wants to start off reading a book from a trans author.
