rabelais's review against another edition
slow-paced
- Strong character development? No
1.75
Of course there's transmisogyny *when the author is intending it to be trans-positive*. That's what you get when an author who isn't a trans woman writes a trans woman character. Luna was more full of a character in the first book, and doesn't have much depth here. Her existence within all relationships is transactional, which is really gross.

A wonderfully thoughtful, expansive, romantic book. A slower burn than I typically enjoy but I was so grateful for TJ Alexander’s really generous treatment of cis characters/readers.

This book deserves all the stars! What a wonderful sophomore novel by Chef's Choice!! This was my first T4T romance and it was just so so sweet. I loved that we got to see so much of Ray and Simone from the first book in this series. It is a slow burn but the pay off is sooooo good. ;) ALSO this book had a lil unexpected celerity trope and I was living for it.
My co-host and I picked this for our June romance book club pick and it is such a good book club book! Would highly recommend!
