This starts as out as a story about doctors in a clinic who decide they will no longer treat trans patients and the reactions/fall out from this, but we quickly become attached to Georgia and especially Jonah as various events unfold.
I really love the authors writing style and wit, it's so easy to just float along with the characters and story, however I do think this one slightly lost its way towards the end. The plot got a bit convoluted and ended up far from the original focus. I also don't think we needed Marks chapters (or Donovans for that matter). Just one POV would be fine for the whole story, especially as we didn't get Jonahs which would have been amazing.
Overall I did enjoy this but think I preferred Queen of Hearts a little more. And definitely looking forward to reading Doctors and Friends!
