I love Nelly

I adore Nelly. She's so strong and just awesome. I hate how difficult it can be for trans people to navigate dating safely. I like that there was the representation of that in this story as well. It made her finding David that much sweeter. They are so cute and I love that he checked on her when she was a crying stranger. So sweet. The narration is so perfect too!!

Sweet

Loved the narrators that read this book. Made the story beautifully and sweetly lovely. I enjoyed this audio book and how it flows through the story.

Quick story

I enjoyed Nellie's story. While she goes through some tough times, she remains upbeat and determined to find her happiness. I didn't like the description of one character as "a pansexual" (as opposed to just 'pansexual') but I'm sensitive to those things - no deduction taken.

The narration unfortunately was not for me, 2.5/5. Almost every word was breathy and almost moaned, and the end of most of the sentences was drawn out vocally. It was just too much, and the register it hit affected my sensory issues. Others have quite enjoyed the narration, so this might be a 'me' thing.
