Two men walk into a gender clinic...and the rest...is history.
OSCAR PETERS HAS NEVER GIVEN MUCH THOUGHT TO WHAT HIS FOREVER MIGHT LOOK LIKE.
When Oscar meets Aaron at the gender clinic on the morning of their top surgeries, it feels like a stroke of fate, but weeks later, Oscar still hasn’t heard from the stranger and he hasn’t stopped thinking about him.
In a twist of luck, Aaron tracks Oscar down on a gaming server and they start texting back and forth, day and night, leaving Oscar irrevocably hooked.
Several pancakes, coffee dates and dinners later, Oscar and Aaron still can’t get enough of each other, and Oscar can just about picture a happy life full of farmers’ markets, sweet treats and lazy afternoons. More than this, a life full of Aaron.
But life is always cooking up one storm or another, and when hardship comes knocking on their door, Oscar must decide whether he’s in this for the long haul; in sickness and in health.
A Queer T4T Contemporary Romance that will stay with you long after you've closed the cover on the final page. Knitting Needles is a heartwarming romance set to a backdrop of found family, identity and the one cardinal truth–that whatever life may throw at you, love always wins.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I recieved an e-arc from the author, and my God, I devoured this in a day and a half.
I already knew Ezra Wren could write, having read both their short stories and their Lorcanverse novels under their other pen name J.M. Rose, but KNITTING NEEDLES is a gorgeous debut for this pen name.
The novel picks up seven weeks after where we left off in the short story SEWING SCISSORS, and from the first page, the prose was rich and electric, the characters nuanced and alive, and the romance was built up so sweetly. The relationship between Oscar and Aaron was realistic, with arguments and upsets and such tender love. Their backstories, trauma, and trans identities shaped the relationship just as much as their love did, but I particularly loved how Oscar and Aaron worked on their difficulties, both by themselves, through talking to their friends, and going to therapy, showing that love and relationships take work, but it's worth it, that just because something has ups and downs doesn't mean it isn't healthy or full of love. (This is by no means the same thing as those toxic cishet romances. Stay back 🤺)
The sex scenes were IMMACULATE. I wouldn't call it smut, because it was by no means explicit, but it was on page. It was not particularly described physically, but emotionally. The prose was elegant and poetic, especially during the sex scenes, and the way Oscar and Aaron's transness was represented and explored was beautiful. They were allowed to exist not only as trans men, but also as lovers, as people first and foremost, which a lot of other authors miss. Wren portrayed trans men--and specifically bigger bodied trans men--as sexy and hot and attractive just as much as beautiful and strong and worthy of being loved, not just romantically, but also platonically. Most of the representation we see of trans men is fetishised and unnuanced, where transness is treated as a tool for sexualisation and fetishisation during smut, but here, Wren writes a T4T love story that feels timeless, that feels like an ode to T4T relationships and trans identity.
This novel is so so so important for the trans community, and I hope so many trans people will see themselves in this book and feel seen. I know I do; I feel like this was written just for me. I was kicking my feet and giggling reading this, because Wren strikes the perfect balance between a light, sappy romance and much heavier themes of mental health, transphobia, and family dynamics. My younger self needed this book, and I'm so glad I have it now, especially during a time of rising transphobia where trans people are being taught we're hated and ugly.
If nothing else, KNITTING NEEDLES reminds trans people how beautiful and wanted we are.

📕cozy romance
📗Great Trans rep
📘Real life, including the tough stuff
📙Wonderful supporting characters (author's forte)
When I began this book, I wasn’t sure what direction the author was going to take. I must say that author Ezra Wren found a lovely path in between the serious realities of life for a trans soul and the blush of a new romance.
When Oscar and Aaron meet at a gender clinic on the day of their top surgeries, lightning strikes. They understand one another. Their past journeys may have been very different, but they “get it”. There’s something very remarkable about meeting someone who understands you because they have some shared experiences with you. It’s special and it’s something that creates a bond faster than you may expect.
By opening this novel with the scenes within the walls of the gender clinic, Wren establishes this world clearly and firmly and great with care. This is a world in which trans people are living and thriving. They are healing. There are moments of joy, moments of pain, and it’s a journey.
These two take a minute to get reacquainted once their bodies have healed because their hearts and minds are healing from far different wounds. It's not surprising really; both of them are living in a world that has taught them to guard who they are.
There are some speed bumps... both Oscar and Aaron have a lot of love to give, but their experience of family has been challenging. Their relationship grows in coffee dates, texting, and online messages. About halfway through this story, I found myself describing it as a warm cuddle because that was exactly how Wren’s words felt. Even during the most trying times for the characters, there was hope and forward movement.
Knitting Needles is a romance that builds slowly and realistically. There are mistakes, there are wins, there are challenges, and there is trauma and ultimately there’s recovery. It’s remarkable to find an author who can so fully capture such a journey for two such relatable characters.
Oscar’s story touched my heart. Oscar reminded me of a friend I had a long time ago, someone who was shaped by hurtful interactions with their family. This friend of mine, somehow, managed to dig through grief and pain and find hope and joy. Oscar has the same talent. It's subtle, but Wren has written a character it is remarkably easy to fall in love with.
This is a beautiful, timely story. It healed a little bit of my heart and brought me so much joy. I’m going to get a physical copy of this one because I know that I’ll be reading it when I need some light in the darker moments of my life.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.
My rating is more a 3.5 but we can't do half stars on goodreads. This book was a bit of a mixed bag for me, with things I enjoyed and others I struggled with.
One of the things that didn't really work for me is the intensity of Oscar's grief for his father still being pretty much all consuming after 7 years. I don't want to minimize anyone's experience of grief, and his experience was particularly traumatic, but it felt very repetitive the way that it was woven into the narrative and he seemed to be constantly thinking about his father in a way that would have made more sense to me if the death had happened closer to the present time of the narrative. I also felt like there was a lot of purple prose that was overdone for my taste. Similarly, the dialogue between all of the characters who are in their early twenties didn't sound natural at all; it sounded like they were reading off of a script.
I did like the support system that Oscar and Aaron have built for themselves and grow together, and I did love the meet cute at the gender clinic right before top surgery, I loved the cat Luigi, and the realities of trying to make ends meet and go to school when you don't have any money. I did find some of the scenes moving.
I'm actually not sure where this was set. I may have missed it at the beginning.
Something else to consider when choosing to read this book is how much trauma each character is carrying. I found it pretty difficult as a trans person myself to watch two hurt and traumatized people going through difficult things. There is a happy ending, but for my personal taste there was too much difficult stuff to get through to get there. Plenty of people enjoy books with lots of trauma and difficult topics before they get to the HEA, for me it was a little bit too close to home. Which does mean that the author did a good job portraying the difficulties that young trans people face when building their lives. Definitely read the content warnings at the beginning before deciding whether to read this.
Overall, I did not like this book as much as I had hoped that I would. I didn't like some of the stylistic and plot choices the author made, but I do think this is a worthwhile story to read and there is a hopeful message of being able to build your own supportive community/family even after you experience rejection from your biological family.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I was fortunate to be able to read this book early as an ARC reader. I usually focus on romance ARCs because it's a genre that I know I will enjoy. This book was unlike any that I have read before in that genre because both male protagonists are transgender men. Although there are some queer romance and other genres of literature out there that are focused on a trans male protagonist, this was the second that I have read featuring a transgender man protagonist, and the first had two trans men protagonists. As a transgender man myself, I very much enjoyed the representation in this book.
The two protagonists are Aaron and Oscar, two trans men in their early 20s who meet and hit it off while waiting for top surgery. After a failed attempt to exchange numbers at their doctors’ office, they do eventually get in touch and become friends and then boyfriends.
One thing I appreciated about the book is how it's relatively low-stakes. There is no big bad or overarching controversy like the NHL or NBA or anything like that that you'd have in a sports romance. The main conflict in the book is that these two very young men, both of whom lack family support due to being rejected by their families, are trying to learn how to live on their own and assemble found family from friends and the few relatives that still support them. As someone who transitioned at an older age and was fortunate enough to have family support and employment to fall back on, this is not my personal story, but I definitely know people whose story it was, and I very much appreciated seeing it represented in writing.
This was a very good read, and I will definitely be recommending it to trans masculine people and trans men looking for books about people like them.

Have you ever read a warm hug that felt like a cozy blanket and made you feel all soft and warm?
Because this is what this book does to you.
Knitting Needles is such a lovely, tender and deep story that indeed will stay with me long after having closed the eARC! It is a precious book about two trans men who meet first in the short story Sewing Scissors and who we follow on their journey through bright and difficult times until the heartwarming end of the story.
Oscar and Aaron are so damn easy to love, their dynamic is adorable and the way they always find ways to be there for each other and show their love in small and big ways is serious life goals.
There's also their found family, build of their best and closest friends, and Grandma is such an amazing presence in Oscar's life, I adore her!
From all the friends they share my two favorites have to be Joe and Lucas. Joe for his teddy bear hugs and easygoing nature and Lucas... Chico, I wish I had a Lucas too 🥰 Much love for this older mentor type friend who is there when Oscar needs him, even if their close friendship is long distance.
All in all, this book moved me, I teared up at a certain point and I will cherish this story for having such a strong, positive dad influence that lingers and brightens everything.
Thank you so much for the eARC, Ezra Wren!

I saw Ezra Wren posting about ARCs of this book and I tried to ignore it. I'm not a romance reader. Then I saw another post, decided I'd be brave and rethink, and I asked the author if it was explicit. They told me there were some elements of spice, which I don't care for. I tried to dismiss it... and then I didn't. The T4T just had too much of a pull. And now, here we go. Romance era, I guess!
I loved this book so much. The author has mastered the craft of metaphors in the most delicious way. Their figurative language is all about nature and feelings, and it's just beautiful.
The characterisation is perfection. Every side character has personality and brings joy (unless they're specifically written not to), and I genuinely can't pick a favourite! (It's between Joe and Grandma. And Lucas. And Lina.) The queerness of the group is so realistic and lovely, and felt so comforting. I also loved the fact that trans joy was such a prominent aspect of the storyline, and that the problems were not a lack of communication or one person self-sabotaging.
I cried, or had teary eyes, for about half of the book. For the time I was reading, I was completely and fully invested in these men!

Review of advance copy
This arc was sent to me in exchange for an honest review
Oscar and Aaron meet on the day they’re both scheduled for top surgery, what follows are many butterfly inducing texts, anxious phone calls, pancake dates, and the joy of meeting someone who gets you completely
I thoroughly enjoyed the progression of Oscar and Aaron’s relationship, and the way they’re both always there for each other is just so beautiful
I also loved the other characters (well…most of them 👀) my favourite was Oscar’s younger sister Lina. Rather than just being accepting of Oscar being trans, she was instead one of his biggest supporters
I’m so glad I sent in my application for an arc of this book, and I highly recommend reading it when it comes out on the 1st of June

This was one of my most anticipated reads of the year, and it absolutely met and exceeded my expectations.
The story developed beautifully in terms of the romance and the circumstances that surrounded the characters. It felt realistic, and the conflicts were handled very well. I loved the found family elements and the relationships the characters had outside the central romance. Oscar and Aaron's dynamic was very sweet, and I hope a love like theirs kidnaps me and never lets me go.
I will probably be thinking about this book for the foreseeable future.
Thank you so much to the author for the e-ARC.

I wish I could give this 5 stars, because I genuinely wanted to like this more than I did.
What did I like?
- Trans representation
- Good mcs, likeable side characters and overall the vibe of the book. It was cozy and felt like a warm hug to me.
- Found family
What didn't I like?
- For some reason this felt rushed, yet slow at the same time. Something about the timing of it all felt slightly off. Then again, I did not read the authors short story, so maybe I was missing a few details?
- The bad stuff, such as arguments, was usually short. While this is to be expected, considering this is a romance book, I can't imagine solving an argument that easily without properly knowing the other.

A big thanks to the author for giving me this arc in exchange for an honest review🫶🏻
This book was everything to me, it doesn’t happen a lot that the prologue of a book can already make me cry. I was emotional for most of the book and it sparked me with so much queer joy. Oscars relationship with his dad was so so beautiful and I wish every queer kid has a parent like that, even if it’s just for a little bit. I loved Oscar and Aaron’s relationship, from how they met to getting to know each other to real life struggles to their happy ever after. The whole thing was so beautiful and it made me so hopeful for all new generations of queer kids❤️

This was such a beautiful sweet T4T romance. Oscar and Aaron meet at a gender clinic before their top surgery. Knitting Needles follows Oscar and Aaron as they learn to love each other through their own trauma and healing. So much of their journey was very relatable. The queer and ally found family was so real and made Oscar and Aaron’s world feel very real. I laughed and cried while reading. This will be a new comfort read for me.

“I met a boy.”
“Isn’t that how all the good stories start?”
Low angst and so stinking cute. I loved all the small real life moments and emotions that we get to see from both Oscar & Aaron.
My heart was stabbed and patched up several times throughout this journey, but it was worth it.

Full review to come but lots of emotions, from smiling the whole first half to heartache and worry in the second half.
