This book was exactly what I needed!

I will always love a book that portrays transgender characters in a real, honest, and open way. Unlike many trans stereotypes, Diego did not always know he was a guy or was a tomboy his whole life. It is amazing to see the author break away from the trans story you so often hear to one you may not see as much. The romance itself was fun, light, very sweet (a little spicy), and just so so healthy and validating!


Full Review:
This book was exactly what I needed.

I will always love a book that portrays transgender characters in a real, honest, and open way. It is so validating. Diego is a perfect example of that. His conception of his gender and the way it is unashamedly described is really something I resonate with. Unlike many trans stereotypes, Diego did not always know he was a guy or was a tomboy his whole life. It is amazing to see the author break away from the trans story you so often hear to one you may not see as much.

The romance itself was a fun story that was just so sweet and healthy! At some points, the writing did have a little bit of a fanfiction-y vibe, however not in a bad way. That is just to say it took on the very fluffy and to-the-point qualities often associated with fanfiction.

Through that the author was also able to run down an avenue most authors I think are scared of. Spicy scenes with trans characters! All of which were executed amazingly. Once again back to how healthy the relationships in this book were, something I think every romance (and non-romance) reader could use a bit of.

Perfectly light and happy and so so healthy and validating.
