#ad I received this book for free as an arc, but the opinions are my own
I really really enjoyed this book. If you enjoy any of these or enjoy this I recommend : lady for a duke, more than a best friend, it’s you, you’re the problem. (They all have a very similar tone especially lady for a duke with a trans fmc)

This is a very slow burn trans regency romance. The main storyline isn’t super strong but the character development and growth is what keeps you reading. Although I predicted the twists it was still really enjoyable. The book even made me cry when a character gave a monologue about transness and queerness and even though we may feel alone there’s a whole beautiful spectrum of us surviving and thriving.
For those wanting to avoid sexual content it was very minimal and is in the last two chapters (chapter 26 having kissing a build up and chapter 27 having the act) this can be skipped to the epilogue and plot isn’t ruined if you let it fade to black.
