5.0
4.5. Really liked, but I thought it would have been a little more believable if Izzy had struggled more, or it was more drawn out with falling for a guy. Seemed very instalove with zero hang ups switching to men, especially since he’s Demi. I haven’t read much about gender fluidity, so it was interesting and informative. Love how Del and Justin are still so in love. Definitely got annoyed with Justin, but realistically, I get where he’s coming from, but Wyatt is an adult. Very sweet story with very lovable MCs.

I actually liked this one more than the first book! I fell in love with quiet little Wyatt in book one and his book really did him justice

I liked this a lot, like the previous book in the series, it again covered some deep issues in a hopeful and optimistic way. As a cis woman I can't judge the gender fluid depiction of Wyatt too much, but it seemed sensitive to me and thoughtful.
Additional CW for outing.
An enjoyable and thoughtful read.

Great
4 stars
Good follow up from “Family Recipe” that sees Wyatt all grown up. I enjoyed Wyatt as he was, he was still questioning who he was and how he fit and seeing him start to understand and accept himself with Izzy’s attraction and approval of all of him was great.
I loved Izzy. He wasn’t perfect and he was written really well. He had reactions to new things that weren’t great but then he walked away and knew straightaway that he did not react to that well. He didn’t just leave it at that he went and researched and educated himself so he could talk to Wyatt and understand where he was coming from. This was well done.
The great conflict was hard to read as I understood where they all were coming from, but Justin’s stubbornness was a bit annoying. He could see both of them were suffering mentally and physically and yet he still wouldn’t give in.
All in all a great follow up to Family Recipe and if you enjoyed that the you will enjoy this one.

4.5 stars, rounding up. I really enjoyed the first book in this duology, and this sequel of sorts is even better. It's hard to say why I liked it so much, but the two MCs are both wonderful: Wyatt struggling with gender identity and career path, Izzy determined to break away from his past and keep his place at the farm. I especially liked how Wyatt is instantly smitten with Izzy, but Izzy doesn't really notice Wyatt at first, too focused on other things (and, of course, Wyatt isn't trying to be seen). So, it all develops really realistically. Highly recommended.
