Publisher's summary

Teresa Barrera has finally moved back home after running away when she was 15. Things are better for her than they were then. She's out as a trans lesbian, has a good job, and is in the promising start of a new relationship. To top it all off, she's back in contact with her sister, who has completely accepted her. She's not ready to tell the rest of her family, but that's okay.

Lian Hui, a private investigator who had searched for Teresa for years, is surprised when they become friends. Not much of a people person and prone to bouts of anxiety, she finds herself drawn to Teresa's kindness and patience. When Teresa's relationship turns sour, Lian steps up as the friend Teresa needs most.

As Teresa and Lian become closer, they find the line between friendship and romance can be a blurry, confusing thing.

very good

As a transgender woman and lesbian I have to say I love seeing more representation for people like me. On top of that this series has been wonderful for representation all around. The story is excellent, difficult subjects are handled well and the narration is top notch. This will definitely be on my list of frequently re-read books.

Love the representation but..

I enjoyed the book for the most part however the MC had a spicy scene with the soon to be ex but when she fell for friend their scene was only implied. It was very anticlimactic for the two of them.

Great follow-up!

I enjoyed the first book much better than this sequel but I wasn't at all disappointed. I can honestly say, this was the Grady transgender romance I've read and Lian and Teresa were just too cute and they tip-toed around their feelings for each other. I can't imagine how difficult it was for Teresa to go 15 years apart from her family and then, another year she a half living right under their noses. Reconnecting with her sister Vivian and then, falling for Lian was likely just what Teresa needed to give her the courage to try and face her family as her true self.

A good book

Not the best I read these past few weeks, but a good one, well written, likeable characters and well narrated.

insightful

I appreciated the nuanced insight regarding neurodiversity and trans-issues. Where the first book in the series was more about the sexual intimacy and dynamics, this one is more about emotional intimacy (ie not hot and spicy)

Pleasantly surprised..

Honestly, I purchased the audio hoping to hear what’s happening with April and Vivian. As I truly enjoyed Wanting Her. Rated a 5 because of April and Vivian being involved. Would love a sequel of their story. Teresa and Lian relationship development was endearing and not what I was expecting at all.

It damages the great first book - nothing interesting in the entire book
