This was a sweet book. I don't really know what else to say about it. The characters were all dynamic individuals whom I liked (minus the scummy "villain" ones, of course), and the love story was honest, kind, and sweet. Viola and Gracewood were so good and gentle to each other so it was nice to quietly watch them struggle through and eventually find their happily ever after. 

This is one of those books where people just show up for each other, and embrace each other despite society and judgement. From Viola's brother and sister in law, to Gracewood's sister, to the company they kept, to Gracewood himself... this was a book about a bunch of slightly misfit, "different" characters, and that just made the whole experience refreshing.

The narrator also did a great job!

Honesty, no notes. This was super fun and thoughtfully written. A friends-to-lovers romance with an awesome trans FMC and a lovable MMC. Hall's characterization is excellent and the story and side characters have some depth. It's a sweet romance with a side of gender identity exploration, queerness, and excellent disability and mental health representation. 

The intimacy was well written and realistic and it feels realistic enough to the time without being depressing - perfect escapism!

The pace was very slow and repetitive and the plot tended to zigzag around, but the writing was beautiful.
