Overall a fun read but I can’t help but be frustrated that I know more about the food the characters ate throughout the book than I know about their transness.

It’s nice to read a book where the characters being trans (and queer and poly) isn’t used in a way that makes you feel bad for the characters, but truly so many mysteries about how the characters navigate the 1940’s as trans people remain and I was bummed by that. Loved the romance though.
