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.

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.

Really liked this but felt like the characters moved too fast for such a short story. Wish that it was a bit longer so it could’ve developed smoother.lennie_reads's review against another edition

I loved this book! S.A. Chant is probably my favorite author of all time. This book follows Kieran, a trans and gay man who just got hired as an intern at a politcal campaign and is simping massively for his boss, Seth (who has heart-eyes for his painfully straight and engaged coworker). Their romance was sweet and I just love reading any trans romance novels!!
This book was so sweet and I loved how effortlessly the contcepts of gender identity and romantic/sexual attraction was tied into it without making the book feel like “trans 101”.
