I’m just not a big fan of queer people’s pain as a vehicle for straight learning. Also how nearly every woman in the story suffered because of the men’s actions and it was kind of glossed over. Also the dialogue was so corny. Does anyone actually say stuff like “we gotta go before Johnny Law gets here” ?

ALSO
I thought we were done with transness as a plot twist but I guess not

The Next Best Fling by Gabriella Gamez

We went from “I have concerns about him being a violent drunk” to “he can stay at my house after we go drinking together” much too quickly for me.
