short king and ND single mom
Seth/Seph was dreamy AF with his tender acceptance of everything about Eva and Maggie. He was a lil bit insecure, but so was Eva, and they were able to lift each other up. I liked that Eva wasn’t solely responsible for his personal growth though. It kept their relationship from being codependent. Maggie was a good example of a kid being a kid rather than emotionally responsible for the emotions of her parent. Sure, she tried to take on more than she should, but Eva was always quick to reassure that she shouldn’t. I enjoyed the chronic illness, ND, and trans rep in the book!
Spice: 4/5
Mild (kinda) spoilers in trigger warnings
Triggers: transphobia, imprisonment (brief), sexual harassment (brief), physical assault (off page), parent loss (off page), flashbacks

I don’t even know where to begin with how amazing this book was! I feel like nothing I say will be adequate. But I’ll try my best

Miranda Sapphire is a gem and an icon! I was a beta reader for this book and gobbled it up in a few hours. I thought the trans representation was beautiful, especially in an age where trans youth are consistently having their rights stripped away. All the characters were lovable, and I was so happy with the ending. Miranda Sapphire is writing science fiction romances that inspire me to write myself!
