This was an absolutely DELIGHTFUL book and I loved it start to finish.
Contemporary romance is not my genre but I'd heard of the author and my copy was reduced because it was damaged while on the shelves, so I thought I'd pick it up and I do NOT regret it. This was put together so utterly lovingly, from the characters to the food descriptions (ohhhhh god some of those food descriptions made me so hungry).
My kingdom for romance with a trans person. My kingdom for other trans and otherwise queer people also being in the book!! Without revealing the plot point itself, the emotional payoff relating to transphobia in the workplace by the end of the book.........so good. So good I teared up while reading this in public.
The only thing I could possibly have wished for is more of it. Oh no, looks like the author has published other books too 👀👀
