This reads like a draft, not a finished book.
You can literally pinpoint all the tropes and conversation points the author wanted to make because there was not even an attempt to flesh it out at any point.
Like, the premise is so good, which is why I picked this up in the first place and there are hints of interesting points of discussion regarding LGBT rights and visibility and all. But it's rushed and underdeveloped and makes their fight make zero sense.
And then it's topped off by a Grand Gesture and it was over-the-top and I hated it because it did not even properly resolve the issue which (as usual!) would need a private talk instead of a stage.
