5.0

This book made me experience all the emotions and I’m disappointed I didn’t pick it up earlier. Kye has my whole heart I never read gender or dysphoria on how I felt. I’m nonbinary myself so some things hit. This gives me a vibe of being a love letter to trans and nonbinary people with religious trauma. It is a dark story but it also had me laughing, and the plot. I went in expecting a lush erotica with religious trauma but came out with the immaculate plot and story telling. I can’t explain how much I loved this book and felt seen.
