Knowing Her by Raquel De Leon

5.0

A great comfort read, if you will. Many contemporary romances have high stakes constructed in a variety of ways to provide the tension in a story. This book however just feels so wonderfully representative of many queer peoples lives. The stakes around family, labels, relationship worries, and coming out are just so relatable for your average queer reader.

To me it lead to a comfortable, grounded, and very realistic feeling story of a couple finding each other. The trans elements deserve a shout out for well they are handled, and how they show solidarity and similarity across different queer women's experiences.

It's in my re-read pile for when I need a feel good book.
