Christopher and Nash’s love story is such an important one in queer romance. A bisexual man and a gay man falling in love, with one being trans isn’t a story we often get, and I’m glad this one did it so well. They were so tender with each other in a way that I long for as a chronically ill person, without illness being the main focus of it all. 

All of Chris’ friends and family brought the story so much humour too. Shaz, Kit, Haf, Ambrose and Laurel (I hope I spelled these right because I listened to the audiobook) are so frigging funny. The book would’ve been incomplete without all their input. Such a lovely Christmas read.

My only issue was
Nash's avoidance in telling Chris he was leaving because that could’ve avoided some of the heartache.
