Checked this out on Queer Liberation Library because there were unlimited copies of the audiobook(and a friend had recommended this last year☺️), and it was so cute!! Incredibly affirming to trans and fat bodies, and I loved how important self expression was to Sam and Lily’s relationship. Despite this being very short, both characters felt rounded out, and everything from their interactions to the setting of Moony’s felt very real! (Something that was definitely helped by Sam’s narration feeling pretty conversational.) (Also, I loved Sam in general! They felt like a funhouse mirror of my own experiences as a nonbinary person. Their conversations and thoughts about gender resonated so hard.)
Oh, and speaking of Sam and Lily, their chemistry was off the charts?? Phew.
Honestly, this was delightfully queer and I’m glad to have this be my first introduction to Anita Kelly! Some parts in Lily’s thoughts felt a little repetitive I admit, but I still really enjoyed this.

This was such a cute little novella and it packed a nice story in a small package.

“‘God’ I couldn’t help but laugh ’Can I just carry you around in my pocket all the time so you can keep showering me with compliments whenever I need them?’ ‘Yes’ Sam said immediately and then blushed”
“By the end, her eyes would be sparkling and everyone in the room would be a little bit in love with her, or maybe it was just me.”
LISTEN! Sam and Lily are so sweet!!! This is such a short read and it’s such a good time! It starts out in a karaoke bar and both narrators start out their first chapters recounting how they’ve noticed the other every time they saw each other at the bar…. That’s just the queerest thing I’ve encountered since I looked in the mirror 20 minutes ago. ALSO! I love the fact that Lily is plus sized and learned how to make clothes that were comfortable and fit her while Sam is newly out as non-binary and hasn’t really explored gender affirming clothes! I felt like I could picture a montage in a movie when that fact hit me! Love it!
