this was such a cute and easy story to read. the MC, Noah, is a trans boy who is already very confident about who he is, but who still has some issues concerning dating. Noah has a blog called Meet Cute Diary where he posts fake dating stories - wanting to bring some hope to trans people. As it was expected things go wrong and he has to save his blog.
This was a story to relax and it was a comfy read. But I didn't connect as much to the characters and I felt like there was the need to have a closure between the MC and one of his love interest.
The one thing that I liked the most about this book is the use of pronouns and the conversation around them. I'm used to hearing pronouns like "she/her", "he/him" and "they/them" but in these books, the author uses neopronouns "e/em". It felt refreshing to see the character getting comfortable with the pronouns e chose. BTW the author also prefers e/em pronouns.
If you want a cute read and a more chilled read, this is the right one.
