I enjoyed continuing in this world and getting to see Ben's perspective. I did find it strange that people who were so involved with the LGBTQIA community kept not understanding Ben's feelings, almost to the point of dismissal, and kept wanting to shake them to say he's Demi, but I think that was the point, since even those in the community don't know all the terms. Good story and characters.
