Content warning Spoilers ahead!
A messy story of an almost-love almost-triangle. Amy and Reeze used to be in a trans lesbian relationship, until a messy dramatic breakup that contributed to Amy's conflicted choice to detransition and become Ames. Fastforward a few years, Ames starts dating his boss, Katrina, and, operating under the assumption he is sterile, gets her pregnant. The book explores Ames, Katrina and Reeze's (failed) attempt to build a queer family and be all parents to the soon-to-be born child. It's absorbing, informative, thought-provoking, and occasionally mildly annoying in its pedagogical ambitions.
