I gave up on this book about 2/3 of the way in because I just can't deal with people making bad choices after making good ones. If you can tolerate an addict backsliding, you might have better luck than I did.
The story concerns a young ex-Chabad (Jewish orthodox) pansexual woman photographer who unknowingly hooks up with her teacher, a famous photographer, who is reclusive enough that people don't know he's a trans man. There's a lot of will-they-won't-they that I found more annoying than compelling.
