#HalfUnavailable

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?

3¾⭐️/5

When including body self-image issues into a story, there’s a fine line between presenting sympathy and actively body shaming. That line’s going to be different for every reader, based on their own life experiences. For me, this story was well over that line — I just couldn’t get past how often one MC just has body image denigration completely take over her internal narrative pages at a time. Others may find this very true to their own experiences, but for me it was too much.

4¾⭐️/5

The only reason this isn’t 5⭐️ is just some personal preference stuff. This is an otherwise perfect story. No notes.
