This was unnecessarily way too long. This is also less romantic comedy and more a cis 101 way to interact with people that aren’t part of the binary & how to occasionally mess that up big time. Ray and a few of the other side characters I enjoyed but Simone? Eh - she irritated me for the majority of the book. Unfortunately this is not a dual POV book but I think I would have rated this higher if we got Ray’s version of events as well. The lack of POC having a voice didn’t sit well with me. How are we supposed to know that Delilah was meant to be a leader when we barely saw / interacted with her ?
