3.5/5⭐ As a romance story, it felt over before it even began, as did the plotline of the birthday party. The text needed a proofreader.

However, the daily realities of the characters living in the intersection of their identities felt very real, genuine, and down-to-earth with nuance and experiences I, at least, haven't seen much in fiction.

Just found out from twitter that Xan West has passed away. They wrote kind books that I loved a lot and I will miss both their writing and their voice in the romance community. Like so very many, it's a sad day.

I wanted something gentle and I got it.

Oof, didn't need to hit that bit about dysphoria and anger over being fat and unable to bind effectively in public. Fortunately, I only cried a little.

tournevis Oy. I can imagine. Very well. 5y

When I couldn't get to sleep last night I started this one and now that I've had a real useless afternoon of failure I'm carrying it around with me, because nothing soothes me quite like gentle, queer romances.
