I loved this book way more than I thought I would. It was sweet, comforting and emotional.

Chosen family, coming out, trans man birth doula, Jewish funeral Chapel, and seeing new interest's dead husband.

A slow journey through grief, community, and queerness. An emotional story that brought me to tears several times, and made me marvel at expertise with which the author crafted the characters' emotional inner thoughts.
