This is a great start to what should be a great series. The writing is good…a bit different for me and a couple of times I had to re-read a sentence or two for clarification. The story was really interesting and unlike anything else I’ve read.
This is only my second book with a trans MC. Nic is post-transition and the other book I read was mid-transition. He still struggles with self-confidence and tries to hide himself from the world. Something I would normally find insignificant – wearing only neutral colored clothing – means something to Nic, as does having the confidence to wear bright or non-neutral colors. He is shy and quiet, happy to just sit back and observe life instead of living right in the middle of it. He is adorably sweet and has a lot of love to give to the right person.
Kyle is Nic’s exact opposite. He is flamboyant and boisterous. He seems to be unafraid of anything and everything and living life to the fullest. Unfortunately, some of that is an act. He’s been made to feel like he’s too much for most people and as such is afraid to be open with anyone or let anyone get too close. He is actually pretty perfect for Nic when he lets his guard down. They truly bring out the best in each other.
River’s story is coming up next and that stands to be even better than this story. River is a bit of a character himself! I hope we get more of Nic and Kyle in that book also as we’re not quite done with them yet
Definitely a great read with lots of emotions that I highly recommend! OH, and I LOVE the cover!
