Way too insta-lovey and smutty. I couldn't take the relationships seriously.
I was exited to read a historical fiction about a poly relationship between trans people but this one fell flat for me.

This book almost bored me to tears.
The entire "plot" was: Madeline waking up > cooking > writing > having sex > repeat.
Every. Fucking. Chapter.
Shit gets boring real fast, especially the repetitive as hell sex scenes.
The characters were so one dimensional I couldn’t really tell you much about them, like, at all. The relationship by the end of the book wasn’t believable, there was still a lot of work to be done I felt like.
The synopsis had me super interested but the execution was so, so disappointing.
The writing wasn't bad per se, there was just nothing going on and, shockingly, when I read a book I want some semblance of a plot.
If this had been any longer than 160 pages I would have for sure DNF'ed.

Three trans people finding love and companionship together, away from the terrible world that has hurt each of them? Yes, please. This was very tender and gentle; I loved them. <3

TW: Brief references to rape culture, sexual exploitation of trans women, attempted sexual coercion of trans women. Brief references to trans people feeling unsafe being in certain spaces or walking alone and trans people warning each other of unsafe spaces. Discussions of internalized transphobia, sexual shame, and issues of self-worth. It depicts sexually open relationships and multiple explicit consensual sex scenes. It includes a scene where the characters smoke weed. Finally, it includes period typical transphobia, homophobia, sexism, and very brief period typical language for gendered body parts.
A big shout-out to the author for including trigger warnings in his book!
RTC but please know I absolutely adored this!

this was really lovely and a lot sexier than I was expecting!! loved the different dynamics between the trio, but the pacing felt a little off.
really great on audio! kdin jenzen is very nice to listen to and I was never confused about who was talking.

The sex-scenes-to-character-development ratio was off for me personally, but I definitely appreciate a bi poly romance set in a secluded, safe space for its queer characters.

I thought this was about companionship, finding love and comfort in people who get you .
And maybe that's what it will eventually become. But right now it's mostly been smut and I just didn't open this book for mostly smut without much else.
