Niles
I’ve trained my whole life for this—elite level gymnastics, gold medal dreams, proving I belong in a country passing laws to erase transgender athletes like me. It's not enough to compete. I fight to exist on the podium.
Other than my mom, my best friend Weston and his dad, Wyatt, are my only constants. They’ve been my anchors through everything. But Wyatt isn't just the man who's always been there to catch me when I fall—he's the man I've been in love with for as long as I can remember.
He's finally looking at me like he sees something more than the boy I used to be.
Wyatt sees the man I've become.
Wyatt
I've known Niles since he was a kid—sharp, driven, fearless, impossible not to admire.
But lately, that admiration has taken on a dangerous tone. There's an edge to him that has me noticing him in a way I'd never fathomed before. He's grown into a confident, stunning young man with an audacity that both intrigues and intimidates me.
Now every time he looks at me like he wants something more, I forget all the reasons I should say no. He makes me feel alive like I never have before.
Except, I'm his coach. I'm seventeen years his senior. And he's my son's best friend.

Full Split is an engaging forbidden romance between gymnastics competitor Niles and his best friend's dad, Wyatt. They share a strong bond that is tested as their feelings and attraction evolve, but the age difference and Wyatt being Niles' best friend's father create many complications that threaten their developing relationship.
Overall, this story has everything: a great relationship between Niles and Wyatt, a strong friendship between Weston and Niles, and a strong theme of identity and perseverance. Full Split delves into the pressures of navigating a complex sport, public scrutiny, and personal self-doubt. Niles and Wyatt face many obstacles, yet their bond remains unbreakable. I admired Niles' tenacity and his ability to overcome so much without withdrawing or downplaying his talents and efforts to become a top gymnast.
This story is full of heart and touches on many important topics, enriching the narrative and making it truly compelling.

Rebecca Rathe does NOT miss.
Full Split centers trans joy. Niles's self-confidence and allure are everything. The chemistry and spice are incredible: Wyatt's love for Niles borders on worship. As a transmasc reader, I adore how much this book highlights the perks of being a trans guy. So hot and heartwarming.
I closed this book with a little more hope in my heart. To protect my mental health, I've been cautious about reading stories that face transphobia head-on. Full Split balances the all-too-real impact of the current political climate with community solidarity and, ultimately, triumph.
I'm so grateful to Rathe fort the chance to check out an advance copy. I'm leaving this review of my own accord.

I was fortunate enough to be a sensitivity reader for this book, and all I can say is Rebecca Rathe has done it again. Rebecca Rathe is the kind of writer that can satisfy your desire for a hot-as-hell spicy romance while also speaking about larger issues that impact the LGBTQ+ community. I loved Niles and Wyatt and can’t wait for the rest of the world to fall in love with them too.

"We need to be the role models we needed most"
Full Split by Rebecca Rathe
With every book Rebecca releases in this series, I find myself saying, “This one is my favorite.” But this time, it truly feels different, this book didn’t just become a favorite, it became something deeply special and meaningful to me as an ally to the queer and trans community. Wyatt and Niles are characters filled with such strength and determination that it’s impossible not to admire them and celebrate every victory along the way.
Niles’ resilience from such a young age was both heartbreaking and inspiring. Watching him face hatred yet still move forward with his head held high was powerful, emotional, and unforgettable. After reading Rebecca’s author notes, I appreciated even more how she intentionally represented a trans man with honesty, care, and respect. She highlighted the importance of access to proper medical care from the start, something that can change lives. I loved that Niles had such a strong foundation in his mother, who immediately embraced him, did her research, and made sure he had the care and support he deserved. That unwavering love helped him grow into the incredible Olympic athlete he became.
Niles’ circle of support was beautiful. Wes, who I adored, stood by him with fierce loyalty, acceptance, and love. And then there’s Wyatt. Some might pause at the age gap, but Rebecca handled it with honesty, transparency, and tenderness. Through Niles, Wyatt discovered himself. He grew, he healed, and he learned he wasn’t broken, he simply needed someone who saw his worth and spoke to his heart. Niles gave Wyatt a second chance at love and intimacy, and watching that unfold was breathtaking.
This story is more than a romance, it’s powerful, timely, and hopeful. In today’s political climate, where so many people’s rights and identities are under attack, this book offers courage, education, and a voice. It’s a reminder of the importance of standing up for what you believe in, while also showing the beauty of unconditional love and support.
And, because Rebecca always knows how to make us smile, there was a delightful surprise cameo from a beloved character in the series. Seeing him, his husband, and their son step into this story to support Niles made me grin and kick my feet with joy. If you’ve read the earlier books, you’ll know exactly who I’m talking about.
It’s easy to see why this book holds such a special place in Rebecca’s heart, and now, it holds one in mine too. I can’t wait for the audiobook, because I just know hearing these characters brought to life will make the experience even more extraordinary.

🌶️🌶️🌶️
Beautiful, stunning, and absolutely wonderful. This is everything I could have asked for. The transgender representation was done beautifully, and compassionately, and Niles is one of my most favourite MCs I’ve ever read. I’m not ready for this series to be over.
—————-
Listen, if Rebecca read it, I’ll write it. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. So to say I’m absolutely devastated that there’s only ONE book left in this series is the understatement of the year. Rebecca says this series change her life? Well, yeah. Same. I read HITG early in my MM journey, and I haven’t stopped since.
Anyways, let’s talk about Niles and Wyatt. We’ve got Best Friends (who’s like a brother) Dad, Age Gap, Transgender Rep, Forbidden, all the yumminess, a bit of a brat, a lot of teasing, a lot of Gymnastics, both physical and mental (poor Wyatt) and some hard hitting truths about LGBTQ+ representation in professional sports. There’s a lot here, I’ll break it down for you.. a bit 😏
Basically all you need to know is Niles has been in love with Wyatt for.. well as long as he can remember what love felt like. Firstly, like a father figure, the man who introduced him to the world of gymnastics and always pushed him to be his best. Then secondly, as the man who he could never have but always wanted.
Niles is on his way to the top. He’s determined to get there, no matter what. So when Wyatt starts returning his playful banter, safe to say total destruction is to come.
Come for the beautiful, stunning, heart warming story. Stay for the delicious spice, love that conquers all, and honestly? The beautiful friendship between Niles and his best friend. Weston is a gem, we need to protect that man at all costs.
Rebecca, you’ve absolutely outdone yourself with this book. Niles is stunning, and I’m so endlessly grateful to you for bringing his story to life for us all to enjoy. 💙

4/5 stars 4.5/5 spice
Rebecca always delivers on the intense intimacy/chemistry between the main characters, and this couples’ was no different. The transition from Wyatt seeing Niles as just his son’s best friend to more was done really well in my opinion. He never felt attracted to or had feelings for Niles up until recently, where Niles is an adult who is pursuing him. Wyatt was Niles’ safe space and someone he trusted wholeheartedly. He had loved and depended on him since he could remember and was determined to make their relationship work.
I loved how informative this was about trans people, especially the athletes. It was heartbreaking but also real to see how the media and other athletes made a spectacle about Niles once they found out that he was trans. Niles handled everything with grace and was a role model for the LGBTQ+ community. I admired how confident he was and that he could stand up for himself.
My favourite character was Weston. That man had me wishing for a best friend like him. He was so supportive of Niles, always having his back and treating him like his brother. Niles was pretty lucky to have him, Wyatt and his mum as his support system from a young age.
Overall, this was an emotional yet powerful read that I would recommend anyone to read.

3.75 🌟 Love a good best friend’s dad romance but this one felt a bit rushed. When I read a taboo romance I want our main characters to fight their attraction/potential relationship and give in 50-75% through. Our MMCs gave in right away. Also, one of the MMC’s son was so upset and betrayed (rightly so) and they barely apologized to him and he was suddenly supposed to be immediately okay with the relationship. I enjoyed how strong one of the MMCs was as he had to face many obstacles, especially as a minority in sports. I also appreciated cameos/mentions of other characters from the previous books in the series🤸♂️

This book was everything!!! I’m a sucker for good best friends dad romance and anything forbidden and taboo but omg this book was so such more then that!!! It’s also touches on the hard reality that we are living in right now with the rise of bigotry and fascism it’s so important now more than ever that we have these conversations and these stories. This book was such an emotional read for me the strength of these characters and the community they have around them that supported and loves them every step of the way was everything! I adored Niles he is funny, strong and unstoppable when he put his mind to something. I related a lot to Wyatt character in the the way he felt about past relationships and the way felt l like something was wrong with him for not being interested and having to pretend this why I can’t stress enough how in important it is to have these conversations and have diverse characters in all forms of media!! maybe if I knew more about sexuality I wouldn’t have spent my high school years thinking something was wrong with me for being demi. This book was so beautifully written and handled with so much care. It’s definitely my favorite in the series now!!!

This story was incredible
To highlight and focus the challenges so many Trans people face in everyday life was challenging to read but so important to tell.
I loved how Niles had such support in his circle.
“You’re dangerous because you’re beautiful. Because you’re confident. Because you’re sharp and funny and everything about you makes it impossible to ignore you.”
“That’s a lot of pretty words to say I make you hard.”
Wyatt saw Niles for the incredible man he is. Their love was so beautiful. So spicy too.
“For the record. It was you. It was always you. Then and now, you’ve always been my dream.”
I have loved this entire series, I love all Rebecca Rathes books lol But this was a special one for sure
Love is love, human is human, sheesh it hurt my heart to see what Niles had to go through
Such an incredible story
“I want you every which way I can have you,”

This book left me completely and utterly speechless for a good few days. I have never felt so seen and understood before, I’m not trans but I am gender fluid and the way the Niles thinks and describes certain things as well as the exhausting fight to just exist the way he was meant to made me feel like I’m not alone and that somebody gets it. Even though me and Niles have different situations and identify differently, I feel like this is a very well thought out and researched character with how accurate the character thinks, feels, and the challenges he faces. Wyatt was also a truly amazing character with how open and accepting he is and god I absolutely melted over how loving he was and his own self discovery good lord quick somebody grab them up for the puddle I have melted into is making a mess! It was like these two were absolutely made for each they compliment each other perfectly. As for the story itself and the world building I’d give it a 10/10 wouldn’t change a thing the author has a gift for painting a mental picture that will have you hooked and unable to put it down and have you ravenous for more! I can’t wait to see what this author comes up with next in this series because each book in the series just gets better with every book!

Rating: 4/5 🌟
Spice: 3/5 🌶️
Characters: Niles and Wyatt
I adored these two together. Niles is a competitive gymnast and Wyatt is Weston's father. Weston is Niles's best friend. There is so much that I loved about this book. I adored Weston and how he was a true best friend and so supportive. The trans rep was incredible. And the way the age gap/forbidden aspect was handled was fantastic.
Niles is such an amazing character. He was authentic, real, and a truly original character. I wanted the world for him.
The romance and the steam were great, like always.
I went into this one a little unsure. It could have been a very heavy book and given me that weight on my chest feeling, but it wasn't. It surprised me in the best way with showing the mostly joyful side of things and the support, and Nile's just being authentically himself.

A Story That Needed to be Told
Dee's Grade: A+
This story was really well done. From having a trans masc character who faces obstacles from the outside world but who is so secure in who he is because of a safe and secure upbringing.
Age gap romances always have to be handled with care and that was definitely done in this book. This is a book that you need to read because it’s a perfect example of showing the nuances of bigotry that is part of a marginalized person’s lived experience without making it the only thing they ever experience.

Forbidden romance and a tale of perseverance and pride. This book follows Niles, a trans gymnast who, along with his best friend Weston, is skyrocketing in his career. Weston’s sexy dad, Wyatt is their biggest supporter. This book follows Niles and West as they give into their attraction to each other, and navigate situations that try to bring Niles down
You’re going to get:
-best friend’s dad
-trans MC
-scandals and success
-secret relationship
-treehouse hookups
The dynamic between Niles and Wyatt was really fun, especially at the beginning when they were dancing around each other. Niles going after what he wanted, and Wyatt trying to be responsible was so much fun. The rest of the story interspersed their secret hookups with Niles and West’s career success, and scandals around a transphobic colleague. There is transphobia in this book, but it’s definitely outweighed by the awesome support and positive messages from most of the other characters. I wish the real world was this supportive.
I really loved having a trans MC and I liked Niles a lot. Though there wasn’t really much character development in this one, the MCs still showed deep love for each other. Though I found the plot to be a little stressful, it was still a happy story in the end.

A best friend's dad, age gap, sports romance that is so much more.
I initially picked up this book as it was an MM romance featuring my favourite sport, gymnastics. Add to that it also had a trans man MC and I was sold.
I wasn't sure what to expect but was far from disappointed in this amazing story of a trans athlete at the top of their sport, fighting for his right to compete but having so much support and love backing him. Niles is an amazing character. He recognises his privileged transition but still has to fight to be seen as the spectacular athlete he is.
This book has so much hope and love in it. It is a story I needed to read in this time of negativity towards trans people like me. Thank you so much Rebecca Rathe for writing Niles and Wyatt's love story and for giving Niles such an amazing best friend and ally in Weston.

Another great read from Rebecca Rathe! Her writing to me is so flawless, I love everything she puts out! The tension and chemistry between Niles and Wyatt from the beginning was off the charts! Absolutely love the evolution of their relationship and how Niles finally breaks through to Wyatt. The emotion in this one is real. Pretty sure some tears were shed, of all kinds. Rebecca also included so much that is relevant to our current political climate here. There were so many good things in the book I wish everyone could read. I love that this focused on Niles after his full transition and how he was making his way in the gymnastics world. Really enjoyed his and Weston's relationship and was glad West didn't make them suffer too long. :) Always fun to see characters from past books, as well.

I like Rebecca not only as an author, but also as a person. She cares about others and selflessly stands up for them. I really appreciate that! With this book, she has taken up a topic that is important to bring closer to people. And she did it very well and sensitively. I liked the story of Nilse and Wyatt. Niles comes across as cheeky, funny and wild, but also very sensitive and in need of love. He doesn't hide, he knows his needs and is good at showing and expressing them. But that also makes him vulnerable and open to attack. Wyatt's love for Niles is unconditional, his support and devotion is just great ❤️. But I also like the close relationship between Weston and Niles, I wish everyone had a friend like that! The Spice was excellent, as always 😉🥰🌶️! So go and read this great story, it's really worth it!

This book was so good! I finished it two days ago and it still hasn’t left my mind. Niles is such an amazing guy that knows exactly what he wants and goes for it. And Wyatt never stood a chance against Niles charms. They are so cute together and love each other so much. The push and pull at the beginning was the perfect amount of tension and when they finally give in 🥵 it was such an amazing love story to read

One thing about me, I’m going to immediately download any book by Rebecca Rathe! Full Split is another edition to the Forbidden Goals series (standalone MM). I know I say this every time but this one very well may be my favorite!! This is a forbidden romance between Niles and his BFF’s DAD, Wyatt. The story is packed with so many emotions and feelings and it’s great to see the confidence that Niles has for himself.
I’m also obsessed with the friendship between Niles and Weston. There is nothing better than a supportive best friends!
I don’t want to give away too much of the story line, but as always anything written by Rebecca is going to be fantastic and you’ll finish the story and think you’ve known these guys for your entire life.

The speeches in this book are absolutely legendary. This has outstanding trans rep and be sure to also read foreword and afterword, because they're just as meaningful as the book itself.
I'm appalled by what's happening in the world. I wish everyone got to be their authentic selves and got the transition experience like Niles'.
Overall, this series is absolutely amazing and you should immediately pick it up 🩷

ARC Review – Full Split by Rebecca Rathe
Rebecca, you’ve done it again. This book is powerful. The LGBTQ+ representation is raw and real—not just the joy, but also the heavy reality of being in the public eye, where you’re constantly made to prove you belong. It’s thought-provoking, emotional, and yet still manages to be downright filthy in the best way.
Niles… oh Niles. He may just be one of my all-time favorite MMCs. His authenticity and strength are inspiring. At times I wanted to wrap him up in a blanket burrito to protect him from a world determined to break him, and at others I was cheering loudly for the unapologetic badass he is. Then there’s Daddy Wyatt—the rock, the ultimate support. Their relationship? A little taboo. But life isn’t black and white. We live in shades of grey, and what they share is unconventional, valid, and beautifully real.
This book made me feel everything—the joy, the pain, the heartbreak, the triumph. It even pushed me to learn more and reflect on things I wasn’t fully aware of. That’s the magic of Rebecca’s writing—it entertains, challenges, and stays with you.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5 stars.
Check your triggers and prepare yourself for a Rebecca Rathe experience… which is always, without fail, a bloody great time.

The book was good but slow burn for sure with Wyatt & Niles. First time I read a book with gymnastics as the focus and it was really good. Did I understand any of the tasks? No but I learned a lot. Weston is such a great best friend to Niles who has so much support from everyone.
dnf
September 19, 2025Very well written and had a lot of potential, but I sometimes characters are just too awkward and sheepish to handle. Especially when it’s an age gap romance and the older character is so uncertain and bumbling. Ugh.

While not my favorite forbidden goals book, this message was definitely the best. I had never read a book with a trans character and I learned SO much. What’s going on in the real world was reflected so greatly in this book, and I believe Rebecca should be very proud of herself for that! What I’ve really taken from this book is that trans people are people too. They deserve to live just as the rest of us do, and should never have to be vilified or feel less than by authentically being themselves. Transgender athletes has been such a controversial topic by some people in government… something that should NEVER be controversial in the first place. There are so many pressing issues that need to be looked at, but attacking and questioning people because of their gender identity is absolutely insane and evil. Like imagine someone just living their best life doing what they love and apparently it’s a problem?? Yeah, no.
I really loved Niles story and how we got to see both the struggles and the amazing wins he experienced being a professional gymnast. He worked his ASS off to get where he was and absolutely no one could take that pure grit and hard work away from him. It was amazing seeing the love and support he had around him, not only from Weston, Wyatt, and his mom, but from his teammates, coaches, etc. It truly makes all the difference having people in your corner, celebrating who they are as a person and how their lives are just as worthy as anyone else’s 🥰 Oh, and I definitely wasn’t crying at the end when Niles gave his speech to the press.. definitely no tears at all 🥲
The love him and Wyatt shared was truly so beautiful and was an amazing showcase that love trumps all even in the midst of hardship. The type of love that transcends and conquers all ❤️

“I've kind of been in love with you for as long as I can remember. And I would one-hundred percent let you do terrible, awful things to me naked.”
“This man can do no wrong. He's got Henry Cavill looks with Pedro Pascal charisma, hotness multiplied by a thousand because he doesn't seem to be aware of just how fucking sexy he is.”
“The idea of touching him, of being touched by him, doesn't feel exhausting. It feels electric. Visceral. Real.”
“He was always confident. Always knew who he was. But those scars marked something else. Something irreversible. And standing here, I can’t deny it anymore. He’s beautiful.”
“Niles, you’re the most determined, capable young man I’ve ever met. There has yet to be even one obstacle you haven’t been able to overcome. If there’s something you want in this life, something you truly want, you’ll move mountains until you succeed. You always have.”
“You’re dangerous because you’re beautiful. Because you’re confident. Because you’re sharp and funny and everything about you makes it impossible to ignore you.”
“For the record. It was you. It was always you. Then and now, you’ve always been my dream.”
“I hold him tighter against me and kiss him like I’ve wanted to since the night he opened my eyes to every dangerous possibility. He tastes like salt and desire and every bad idea I’ve never let myself have.”
“He makes me feel comfortable in my own skin. And while I don’t need a man to validate me, it feels damn good.”
“”I love you,” Wyatt sighs softly, his lips brushing my hair. And just like that, I stop breathing.”
“I shake under him. Not because I’m afraid. Because it feels like I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life. For someone—him, specifically—to touch me like I’m something precious. Not something twisted or a novelty. Not just a toy to play with. He touches me like he cares about me. Like my pleasure is his only goal in life. Like making me come is an act of worship, and drinking it down is communion.”
“I love you. I love your body. I love your dick. And your pussy. And your ass. And everything about you. I just love you.” (Gagged!!!)
“No matter what, this man is mine. Forever and ever. I’ll fight to the death to keep him and protect him, because he’s perfect. Perfect and mine.”
“This country has a problem. One where the LGBTQ + and BIPOC communities are unfairly and inaccurately used as scapegoats. We’re blamed for discomfort, for change, for challenging the status quo, but we are not the problem. Hate and fear are the problem. The misdirection of your attention away from the actual harm being done and placed on the backs of people who just want to live their lives is the problem.” (Sobbing 🥲)
“We fought for every athlete competing by our side, and for every athlete who will come after us. So they can walk in and focus on their sport instead of their gender, their pronouns, their appearance, or who they love. We made space. A space I'm so proud of and grateful for.”

*******MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS********
I have to say, normally the “Age Gap Trope” is not my most favorite, especially when there is a significant gap, but I have to say, the Dynamic Between Wyatt and Niles really worked for me with this book. I was really looking forward to Full Split and was happy it was coming out quickly after I have finished the rest of the series… So I didn’t have to wait long. So let’s get into it….
I will start with the Supporting characters before diving right into the MMC’s and that is Weston, the unsuspecting Best Friend. I am not sure if he was oblivious or just took Niles to be the big jokester he was and not all that serious. I can’t imagine someone telling me how hot my dad was. LOL…. But I found Weston to be so endearing, he showed the true support nature of the best friend. I thought Rebecca (the Author) did a great job keeping him very …. How would I say… Not over the top and not a drama llama…. He showed the perfect amount of emotion and restraint when he found out what he found out and how he managed it as well. What I loved the most about Weston is, that he never saw Niles as anything other than just his best friend…. that’s it.. if anything more it was as his brother.
Then there is Niles’s Mom. I loved the relationship she had with Wyatt and Weston that included her son, which made if funny to me when the truth came out, she liked to antagonize Wyatt a bit before she let both of them know she was supportive. That just reminded me a little bit of something my mom would do…. “Let’s give him a hard time first before… “. LOL.
Now there is one of the MMC’s… Wyatt.. first of all, on a personal level, I love any character with the name Wyatt, I am not sure what it is, but that just does it for me. And this one proved to be no different. I love that he was very well aware of the significant age difference and he had his own internal battle with it… He fought more so that some others that I have read… and I liked that about him. He knew Niles from childhood to adulthood and really weighed the options… Yeah, sometimes the heart wants what the heart wants and that is the end of it, but he really never waivered from who he was in Niles Life. He just wanted Niles to look at him differently (not so much as a father figure) just as much as Niles wanted Wyatt to do the same. It was something they shared and I liked it a lot.
Before I get to Niles, I want to make this statement…. I have not read very many books where a Transgender was involved. I would say maybe 3…. Including this one. What really helped me with the way Rebecca wrote this book was the use of some medical terminology. Yes, I have a better understanding of what things mean now and I want to make sure that is noted as an appreciation. Some Authors assume that the reader knows everything from the correct terms, to the slang, to all and in between and Rebecca didn’t make that assumption here. It actually made me understand Niles on a completely different level as a new reader.
So with that being said…. On to Niles… the main character in the story. What made Niles so great is that he was confident in who he was. Even with the comments and the bullying type nature, he never tried to become someone else. he didn’t WANT to change who he was or how other people saw him, including Wyatt. He had an amazing support system between his Mom, Wyatt, Weston, Teammates and the Gym he trained at… and that was important to me as a reader to see that and read how they supported him. I know so many like to take that plot line down a more dark, depressing road, but it wasn’t done that way here and for that I appreciate. It was more about how to navigate the additional hurdles that Niles had to go through to be competitive in his sport. What I even liked more is this was a born female, competing in a Man’s sport and not the other way around, and I loved that angle.
All in all I loved the entire series and would definitely add it as a must read to anyone’s TBR list going forward.

Rebecca never fails when she is writing these books. She has this amazing ability that basically turns her into a wizard when she's behind a keyboard.
Please don't worry if you know nothing of the sport. Rebecca’s way of writing makes you feel that you know it all. You feel like this is a sport you grew up competing in.
The ways that she sucks you into a story and makes you feel and root for the characters is seriously hard to match with a lot of other Authors.
Rebecca is an Author who brings real-life problems into books and helps the reader understand how to support the solution of the problem, as well as how not to be a part of the problem. I actually learned a lot from this book, as well as her other ones, but this one especially.
Niles - is always looking at the bright side of things. He is such a strong character that it is almost unbelievable that he is a fictional character. I was rooting for him from the beginning. I would get angry on his behalf when he would just let things blow over. I know he is used to all the things that were being said and talked about, but it didn't mean it didn't break my heart for him every time it happened. I am so glad that he has had the most amazing support system from a young age, early adulthood, as well as after the Wyatt situation came into play. Seeing all the people he had on his side, backing him up, rooting for him, and cheering him on made me so happy that I was tearing up a few times. I think Rebecca did a really good job of showing all the challenges that trans people go through in such a respectful way.
Wyatt - I love how steadfast and strong he has been from the start. He raised his son as a single dad, while still finishing school as well as making sure that his son had things he could do and be a kid. Even with Wyatt going through his own sexual struggles and learning to accept them gave me so much joy. I have always been a lot like Wyatt in the demi-sexual side of things. So I really related to and felt for him throughout the whole book. I love that he is so protective of his son and of Niles.
Weston - I love how he accepted his best friend since day one and was one of his biggest advocates and would stand up for Niles, when Niles would let it roll off his shoulders. Weston would not let people be ignorant, and that was such a heartwarming thing to see! I loved how he always helped Niles but never stood in his way of letting his own light shine.
Peter - all I have to say about him is I hate him.
I also love how she mentions or has characters from the past books make an appearance, so we can see a little about their lives after their books end.
Overall, this book is nothing short of the excellence that you expect from the wonderful and beautiful Rebbeca Rathe. I am always blown away by her ability to write such strong and real-feeling characters. I know it's a great day when a new RR book hits my Kindle.
