The wooing
Review:
I love to read books with genderqueer/genderfluid/nonbinary main characters. I also love friends-to-lovers romance. This book met both those requirements.
I really enjoyed both these characters, but I think I have a soft spot for Iz. They have some issues and insecurities that just connected me with them. Marina's more certain in what she wants, she's just not sure if she can have it or how to get it. I really enjoyed the interactions between them, though I do wish the two spent more time together. That's just a personal preference though. I always love cute, domestic, chill scenes with characters that I enjoy.
I thought the relationship developed very nicely. It forced both characters to figure out what their issues with or what they could choose to deal with. It's a novella so it's not long. It still takes a while for them to get together, and I'm torn about how I feel about that. I like a decent amount of angst and yearning, but I also just love a sweet romance. I wasn't sure how I wanted the story to play out. It was good though. A little longer on the angst than I would have preferred, but not an annoying amount.
This is a cute, short novella if you're just looking for a nice friends-to-lovers story. It has good characters with relatable interactions. It's cute, but also has some angst.
