Complicated
I absolutely loved this deft, emotional modern romance from Darcy Liao. Mira is a multiracial trans woman struggling through grad school and escaping her abusive ex when she meets Isabel, a frosty but compelling butch lesbian with a spare room to rent. The two of them bond over union work and labor organizing (Isabel is a union electrician; Mira is trying to organise the grad students at her college) - swoon. Mira’s bi awakening is rendered really beautifully, and Isabel’s reckoning with her grief and emotional baggage is so moving. A wonderful book and can’t wait to see more from this author!
