If only he had trusted her. And listened to his heart, instead of to his hurt.

Damn, this book HIT. It took me a minute to get into it and it is predominantly slow-paced, however, that feels intentional so that the reader can fully understand the depths of the characters' minds and emotions. Having no personal experience with gender diversity personally, I felt this was an absolutely beautiful story of a trans woman and it was written with SO much care. All the way through. Even in the sex scene you could see the care for her identity in every single word. This book is so soulful and contains so much love. There is so much more to discuss but I will leave it that everyone should read this truly touching story.
