I read the version of this that appeared in A Safe Girl To Love and liked how intimate and cozy the two women's relationship felt. It's not easy to take a relationship from its very first encounter up through feeling truly comfortable together within the confines of a short story, so that it no longer feels nervous from newness any more, and this pulled that off. There isn't so much a plot as there are a series of little slice of life scenes from the lives of an interracial trans f/f couple living in NYC--in separate apartments, because neither one is really sure that she girlfriends well.

4.5/5

I quite enjoyed this short story. I read it as a piece from A Safe Girl to Love, and the small piece of text made me fall in love with Casey Plett's way of writing. I've had much experience with t4t stories, but reading about trans women was a refreshing change of pace. I will definitely be reading more of Plett's work.
