This was not it. Half way trough and the MC and her love interest still had no relationship. They didnt even make sense as a couple. The back and forth was messy, so was the storyline. I unfortunately did not like this at all.

I liked the queer magazine setting and the discussions around queer history and gender presentation in this book, but everything else I really struggled with. There's lots of drama, overblown events, misunderstandings that get cleared up instantly, and lots of back and forth. As someone unfamiliar with Pride and Prejudice, I can't say how much of what didn't work for me in this book was down to that, but yeah.

So glad I read this! The positive queer rep in this is beautiful and so refreshing to see. There are hard emotional parts and mentions of homophobia, but everyone in here is proud to be queer. I wouldn’t necessarily call this a romcom though, there’s definitely a strong romance plot line but so much of it surrounds other story lines. But that being said, I loved our protagonist and the discussions on gender presentation and the frustrating feelings of presenting in between stereotypical gender aesthetics and gloating back and forth. Great read.
