3 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
A trans man returns to his Florida hometown for Christmas after his career goes up in flames, only to cross paths with his high school ex in this charming rom-com about family and second chances from the author of the delectable (Time) Chefs Kiss. Eli Ward hasnt been back to his suffocating hometown of New Port Stephen, Florida, in ages. Post-transition and sober, hes a completely different person from the one who left years ago. But when a scandal threatens his career as a TV writer and comedian, he has no choice but to return home for the holidays. He can only hope hell survive his boisterous, loving, but often misguided family and hide the fact that his dream of comedy success has become a nightmare. Just when he thinks this trip couldnt get any worse, Eli bumps into his high school ex, Nick Wu, whos somehow hotter than ever. Divorced and in his forties, Nicks world revolves around his father, his daughter, and his job. But even a busy life cant keep him from being intrigued by the reappearance of Eli. Against the backdrop of one weird Floridian Christmas, the two must decide whether to leave the past in the pastor move on together.

I‘m not much of a rom-com fan anymore, but OMG this was such a cute story!

I‘ve read very few books where there‘s a trans main character and this was so enjoyable and also educational. I must admit that there were some parts in the middle where I lost a bit of interest (and almost DNF‘d it), but I decided not to give up on it and I was very pleasantly surprised.
