Info about the sex scenes, because why else would I be reading this book: There are three sex scenes and two of them are pretty boring. While the book is full of queer characters, the sex scenes are hetero which is disappointing. Both protagonists are bi, which is cool, but I thought there would be a threesome or something... Nothing of the sort. No trans characters either (that we know of). GIVE ME TRANS SMUT OR GIVE ME NOTHING AT ALL! It’s a sweet story, and covers interesting themes of grief and chosen family. Not worth a read if you’re just in it for the sex scenes.
