E.L. Massey: Free From Falling (EBook, 2024, NineStar Press)

Justin “Matts” Matthews is good at a lot of things: Rubik’s Cubes, playing guitar, herding …

If you want "Heated Rivalry but trans"...

...read this! Very cute, mostly fluffy. I only really have three mild complaints. First: you think it's gonna get spicier eventually, and it does, but that happens totally off-screen unfortunately lol. It's a fairly long book, and you can tell they're building up to it. But when it finally happens it's one of those "...and then suddenly it's the next morning" type scenes. Second: the transfemme MC is taller than average and flat chested. I get it, that's not exactly super uncommon, but we do come in other shapes you know! Third: the MCs are like polymaths to an obscene level. How are you an expert at hockey, cow wrangling, math, Rubik's cubes, AND obscure trivia?? So minus half a star for those things, but I'd still recommend it anyway.
