She's Not Even A Lesbian?

Revisado: 03-23-21

Overall the story was ok, but the thing that really stuck out to me is the fact that she's not a lesbian. She explicitly states that Jordan was the only "butch" that she dated that she really connected with and loved but Jordan was a transman the whole time whether he had transitioned or not. With pleonasm, the author is technically a bisexual heteroromantic (partner's genitals don't matter but their gender expression does). I feel confident saying this because I'm a bisexual homoromantic woman that had a very similar situation happen when I was young. My first ex is a transman now and the way the author described feeling "out of sync" with cis female partners is how I felt with him even when he still identified as female. I think the author should have done a little more self-reflection. Just because you are in gay relationships doesn't mean you're actually gay and while it didn't feel transphobic the book was certainly ignorant.

The plus side is now I have another example of someone who is very firmly romantically attracted to one gender but ambivalent or enjoys both sexes.

TL;DR: Author isn't a lesbian/dyke but the story is mildly interesting

Short, sweet, and lovable

Revisado: 11-14-20

Contains all of the typical romance tropes but the characters are likeable and genuine. The writing is pleasant and while the smut is okay, the center focus is clearly on the romance and character conflicts. I really did enjoy this book and I recommend it if you want something short and sweet to listen to
