Undoubtedly one of my favourite books of the year and I hope to god we continue to see more queer fiction like this come out.
It’s such a breath of fresh air to get a amazing queer romance that isn’t just cis mxm and this one just did such a wonderful job of that. This was my first time reading a T4T romance and it was so spectacularly done. Though I must acknowledge that I’m not the most qualified to judge the trans quality representation and that if you’re interested in a more nuanced discussion then I’d suggest checking out some reviews of trans readers. But it just felt so well done.
The author strikes a wonderful balance between having the main characters trans identities a main theme without it being their only character traits. It feels real, raw and so romantic. I thought the sex scenes were really well executed and I liked the causal discussion of gender affirming care I.e. hormones.
Our main characters are so loveable and have such wonderful chemistry / I could easily read another entire book with them as the main characters.
I did forget this was technically a sequel so now I need to go back and read book one whoops.
