A review by simonlorden
The Companion by E.E. Ottoman

5.0

This is a wonderful little book, as long as you don't expect things from it that it doesn't want to give. It's not a slowburn, and maybe not "realistic" for three trans people to find each other like this, but that's not the point. It's about three trans people finding each other away from the city and falling in love and lust, and easing each other's loneliness.

It also had that idyllic countryside vibe that I like, with long walks in the forest, collecting nature's bounty, etc. It always managed to describe the meals in a way that made me jealous, even if they were simple foods on their own.
