dermkat 's review for:

They Were Roommates by D.C. Emerson

I've written this review three times and it didn't save so I'm annoyed and here's the short form:
•was rec'd for Trans Rights Readathon 
•I liked it! Both cute/fun and informative/empathy building for me
•Diego=a gay trans man (MC1), demisexual, Latino, not close with his family because they suck
•Frankie=a white, bi/pan/whatever (his words) man who loves hookups in the beginning
•classmated to best friends to business partners and roommates to lovers
•great insight for cis folks like me into what some trans people go through (affirming surgeries, transphobia, homophobia, considerations for anatomy/language/etc. during spicy scenes, both gender dysphoria and euphoria, and more)
•long novella length, is prequel to a duo about Frankie's sister, which I'll prob read as well
