I really enjoyed Austin Chant’s Peter Darling, so when I saw that I could borrow this from my library, I jumpeddddd.
This is a short little novella about a Kieran, a trans guy, doing an internship with his frosty, but handsome and entirely-smitten-with-their-married-boss supervisor Seth. Cue office romance, and so much affirming, good, wholesome, wonderful interactions.
There were times when the main character Kieran did or said some questionable things, but nobody is perfect, and we wouldn’t get anywhere or be able to relate to a bland MC. Hot manager Seth on the other hand, you did great, 10/10, would not change a thing.
Would recommend, to anybody who’d like a short, #Ownvoices, positive LGBTQ+ read, but please be warned there’s an age difference, misgendering, and an 18+ scene (the positive, affirming kind, if there’s such a thing.)

Was really hoping I could like this book, given there is a trans MC. Maybe it was how the characters' personalities felt inconsistent or lack of depth to many of the supporting characters but I just couldn't get into it much.
I did really like how the author portrayed the MC's experience with being trans though. I could relate a lot to the MC in that way.

Okay, I really loved this book. I can't explain why but it was so good. I liked how Kieran discussed how he wanted his gender to be handled in the workplace. And that Seth was trying so hard to help but at the same time he wasn't.
Their romance was also really cute and I loved them together.

This was such a cute fun little read!
It has a massive fanfiction vibe, I can absolutely see this as a “political campaign au” fic for a lot of fandoms lol, so if that’s your vibe you’ll like this!
warning tho for age gap relationship - 23 and 35 (i think? about 12 years anyway)
The relationship was cute and this was just a nice fluffy palate cleanser of a read. I would have loved just a few more pages of relationship development/feelings talk as it did sort of feel like they both were suddenly in love with no warning though.
