Faux by E. Davies
4.0
Cute m/enby romance that deals with being HIV positive, running a business, charity work, teen homelessness and being orphaned and/or kicked out.
Content warnings include: homophobia, bullying, death of parent, HIV positive, mentions of child abuse, teen homelessness, getting kicked out.
Denver being non-binary isn't a very big thing - it's only briefly mentioned one time, but I like the continued transgender themes of this series a lot!
The demisexual rep was nice as well, and discussed a bit more indepth than the enby one.
The main topic is definitely teen homelessness, being abandoned and struggling as a young person due to death of parents, not being taken seriously, getting discriminated because of sexuality, and similar.
While this made Faux quite bleak at times, it wasn't a wholly negative book. There definitely is a happy ending and it was an enjoyable read overall, especially due to the continued resilience and hopefulness of the characters.
