🎶 Travis (he): tiny but pretty jacked, who needs to reaffirm his masculinity, and always arguing with someone, like the grumpy family member.

🏳️‍⚧️ 📖 This book is phenomenal, a true safe space for queer people.
The main characters are perfect: two sweet, lovable himbos. The supporting characters complement the leads and the story beautifully.
It's hilarious and heartwarming at the same time, wonderfully written, and easy to read. The main character's point of view (POV) having a direct conversation with the reader was perfect and added more emphasis to the MC's perspective.

🤯 I wasn't prepared for so much humor. From the very first pages, I was laughing out loud. It’s one of the best comedy books I’ve read this year, and I want to read more about these fantastic characters.

☕️🧃🥪The Diner, as always, is an inclusive haven: perfect for making new friends, reconnecting with old ones, and enjoying meals served by the most wonderful staff.
🧐 Oh, and we finally get to learn the mystery behind the Dwayne "The Rock" stickers!

▪︎FAV QUOTES▪︎

■ Wren: '"His name is Wren?” This is said with all the enthusiasm of a golden retriever puppy being presented with his first ball. “Can I come in, Wren? I promise not to be weird."
“No way!” I yell at the door. “You can only come in if you promise to be as weird as possible.”

■ "Wren: I’m a weird little dude. I’m an over-sheltered, under-socialized house cat, and I know without a doubt that I don’t belong here. I’m stupid, but I’m not that stupid."

■ "Wren: Everyone in this place is a solid fucking ten. Where am I? Queer Heaven?
I mean, I’m just assuming it’s a queer-friendly space given what Gwen told me earlier and Mel’s sheer existence. And maybe everyone here isn’t queer, but even so, the eye candy alone is on the same level as the cast of The Mummy for causing a sexuality identity crisis.
Hell, I bet even Elvis the ghost is hot..."

🍌🦆🍌🦆🍌 I'm definitely going to read this again. 🦆🍌🦆🍌🦆

I'm looking forward to reading the following books on this series and learning more about the trans community.

😉 Thanks for reading hope this helps you out!
