This is a solid debut romance that does an excellent job highlighting the way our protagonist, Miles, navigates his sense of self and his relationship with others as he comes out as trans. I appreciate the way Edward Underhill depicts Miles' ex, Shane, and how both guys come to terms with their feelings toward one another, but I was also glad to see Miles' heartwarming relationship with Eric (who deserves all the good in the world, perhaps more than Miles could give at the beginning of this book). I could have done without some of the cheating, gaslighting, and other drama because I wanted to see Underhill explore more of Miles' family dynamics and other vulnerable moments, but I guess this also serves to highlight Miles and his friends as flawed humans and, well, teenagers.
