This was a quick listen, free with audible membership. Overall, it was fairly enjoyable and a decent couple of hours. This is a pretty straightforward getting to know you & starting to date story; no on or off page spice. 

Likes
  • Rep (mc): gay trans man, post-transition, beginning to date other men & nervous about sharing that he’s trans
  • Rep (LI): bisexual love interest, about a year post coming out as bi
  • Love interest occasionally dabbles in  drag, which is fun! 
  • Two nerdy boys who work in a bookshop
  • There were some trans related shenanigans that were funny 

Not my favorite: 
  • I wish we could leave behind the panic that a guy is straight once he’s seen with a friendly, possibly ex-romantic, girl. It’s not a very bi-friendly trope, and you’d think the bisexual bff could have pointed out that the LI could be bi when the MC expressed this woe to her, but she didn’t. 
  • Not the most developed plot, but it’s under 3 hours, so that’s not too shocking
