My Tiny Giant by Marina Simcoe
4.0
Unique premise, cute story
I’m always a little leery of FMC whose entire identity seems to be “I am in the military” because I’ve been burned by books in the past. Many authors don’t allow FMCs to still embrace the wonderful parts of being feminine and instead have them embrace toxic masculinity and become worse than a lot of emotionally stunted MMCs. Simcoe tempered this with enough compassion, appreciation of feminine things, and normalcy to make Emma a relatable character. Agan was an interesting MC and they had a good dynamic between them.
Spice: 3/5
Triggers: violence
