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.

- 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
