This was a cute little novella with a straightforward plot and a sweet resolution. There were a few grammatical errors, and I'm not personally a fan of adult female characters being continuously referred to as girls, but I also recognize that everyone has their own relationship to gendered terms and that says more about me than the book.

Overall, a nice narrative snack, but ultimately simple which keeps it at a three for me, as there wasn't much to pique my interest.

Edit: I keep forgetting to add this, but I felt Bedeck did a fantastic job drawing parallels between our protagonist's experience as a half-elf in Elven society and her experience as a trans woman who hasn't quite figured that out yet. That was very thematically satisfying and well-handled.
