#HiddenRelationship

4⭐️/5

Honestly, my only complaint here is that the story is too short, so we don’t get much build-up and end up with an insta-lust/love-at-first-sight combo, which really doesn’t do justice to the vibe. I would absolutely read a sequel, or an expanded version.

I mean, who doesn’t want a Quenalith in their life?

My quibbles here are entirely personal preferences about tropes and character arcs. People who enjoy stories of coming out, and of characters with low self-confidence slowly finding their feet, will likely find this even more enjoyable.

I would definitely read more by this author.

3½⭐️/5

Without spoilers, I’ll just say that I don’t resonate well with the central tension in this story. Outside of that, I though the humor was well done, and enjoyed the interactions with the side characters — I thought it showed a supportive and 3D social network.
