I had a really great time with this! It was silly and ridiculous in the best way. I really liked the main character's personality and the bits about astrology (though, as always, I wish there was more on that). More than that, I loved the strong theme about the importance of trans community.

I can tell that this is one of TJ Alexander's earlier books -- I read (and loved) Triple Sec a while back -- and so I can see that their writing has improved (meaning, it was weaker in this one). But even still, nothing about the writing took me out of the story and I enjoyed it so much that I don't care to pick those parts apart.

This was a fun read overall. I did have some things that I didn't love about it, but at the end of the day I was invested and I did read it in two days (would have been less of I didn't have to work).

There were definitely parts that read as awkward to me (only writing the southern accent on a handful of words, some dialog, and some of the smut -- but to be fair for the last point, I am picky so take that as you will). The plot was definitely a lot for the amount of time we had, so there are ways that it could have been done in a more believable way, but like I said, I was hooked so it did its job despite that.

I won't go into more detail but at the end of it, it's a flawed book but I still had fun with it.

This was cute! It lands somewhere between 3.5 and 4 stars I think. I enjoyed both characters and appreciate some of what gets explored beyond the romance.

I was a little worried towards the beginning bc the first scene with Eli and his friends was repetitive in a way, but thankfully the rest of the book didn't read like that. Despite not being a miscommunication fan, I really enjoyed it. I understood why certain lies happened and ultimately a lot of the book breaks down autistic vs allistic communication in an interesting way (they don't say Peter is autistic, but there's no way he's not).

It was definitely what I needed, as I've been in a slump but I finished this in just a couple of days
