Really interesting memoir about growing up nonbinary and asexual. I read for a variety of reasons but one is to experience what is outside of my own microcosm and this book certainly does that. I can also imagine this book being a lifeline for anyone who is questioning their own gender. It‘s so important that works like this remain accessible for everyone.
When my mother was alive, I was a different person. That little girl wore simple clothes and wildflowers in her hair and could sing any aria or tavern song known in the Northern Kingdoms.

The B&N I went to for all my childhood is moving buildings, which means: 50% off everything in the store! Not a bad little haul.
pickThis was a good read — a found family rallies round to save one of their own from an unpleasant fate. A bit of a mystery, a little romance, and another family member being made make for a cozy story with lots to love. It was a bit slow going at times, but fun overall. One caveat — you definitely need to read the first book to have even the slightest clue what‘s going on. I did enjoy it enough to move immediately to the next book!
so-soI really enjoyed this until about half way through then it began to drag.
I liked the romance, the transition from fake dating to feelings was well done and I liked the banter.
January and February 2025 😊 January was an #ALSpine pick from @CSeydel and y‘all know how much I raved about the HMRC series this year 😁 #12Booksof2025 @TheEllieMo
so-soThis has such a compelling beginning, starting out in immigration court, which feels so topical (even though it‘s taking place in 2011). I really liked much of Peter‘s story, as he grapples with fighting the immigration system as a lawyer plus his ambivalence toward his sexuality. But his mother Ann‘s story fell completely flat for me and I ended up skimming her parts. Plus, the climax of his story ties in with hers, which didn‘t really work ⬇️
