Short Read that I wish could be longer

I actually loved this story so much. I have to admit that I’m kind of a book snob. I read a lot of transgender fiction, but I absolutely hate what I call transgender fetish stories. Stories that don’t have much character development, and are mostly just opportunities to show transgender individuals in sexual situations.

Honestly, I started reading this book thinking it was one of those kind of stories. I found that this was a delightful story with a lot of character development and just a little bit of spiciness. There were a few grammatical and character errors, but nothing I couldn’t overlook or figure out. In the end, I learned some lessons. One, I can’t read a book by its cover, and two, I really like Katie Van’s stories.

Needed in ways

This is the story of two close friends who find a totem that takes the wishes and turns the other into a woman. As soon as Tony was turned into Jimmy's girlfriend, he felt that he/she enjoyed being Jimmy's girlfriend more than anything in life since they already know so much about each other in so many ways from being friends for so long. Even though this story is fictional, you never know what could happen someplace in the world of the way things work that could change someone into a woman or whatever they want to be and be made into that person permanently just by finding the right person to be with for whatever reason their is in the future of life.

Great story but could use an editor.

I would have given this five stars because the story was really good but I had to remove a star because this story could definitely use an editor. It switches from past tense to present tense and back again, the two characters names get mixed up a lot, making it a bit confusing, and some grammar problems here and there but ultimately a good read and deserving five stars after some editing.

A magical love story. Can best friends fall in love? It depends on the magic between them. Fun read. One little part, for me, kept it at 4 stars instead of 5. It is still worth the read.
