Five stars for sweetness. Seriously, if you need a short, sweet friends to lovers story between a trans guy with anxiety and a POC whose pronoun is they, both geeks, at a convention, here you go. It's low-key and satisfying. No caveats on these counts. I'd give four stars for plot, since I generally prefer a little more challenge, but it left me happy. All the stars.

I really enjoyed a Boy Called Cin! I was initially interested in it since it's an ownvoice novel featuring a trans and non binary character! I was a little bit wary of the age difference at first because I'm not a fan of that trope. Usually it's a bit of a hit or miss for me, but I felt like it worked well in this novel since the main focus was on the characters' sexuality/Tom's dysphoria and how it impacted their relationship. I actually really enjoyed how their ages played a role in their relationship dynamic (Cin and Tom are so cute together, tbh).
The novel is cute, but kind of slow at the same time. A Boy Called Cin is very character centered rather than plot driven which is why it seemed to be a slower read. It definitely focuses a lot around the characters's struggles, and the novel brings up a lot of conversations regarding gender dysphoria. Also, I loved the sex positivity in this novel. The sex scenes weren't graphic, but Cin and Tom had fun experimenting with each other and talking about what works and what doesn't (consent is sexy, everyone!).
Overall, A Boy Called Cin is a great novel that touches on important lgbtqia topics, with wonderful characters and a super cute, feel good romance. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for lgtbq reads and anyone looking for a quick romance novel.

Cream of the crop - A Man Who Measures up. The only 5 star read in this collection.

What’s Up Pussycat? Less a romance, more a story of a man overcoming grief.
Over the Rainbow - While I enjoyed the story I couldn't understand the insistence that Dorian play Dorothy when they had female teachers! It would have made more sense if it had been an all male staff.
Broadway Devils - Funny and I enjoyed it but I needed more connection moments between the final pairing since the MC spends most of the story fucking someone else off page.
Angel in the Wings - Again, the bane of the short story strikes, I needed just a few more connecting moments shown before they got together. Even if it was misinterpreted looks from the stage.
Enjoy the Show by Lisa A Adams. I knew what was happening pretty much from the outset but I didn't care. Sometimes its great to know where you're going and just enjoy the journey to get there :)
The One That I want by RJ Jones - I could understand Paul's reasons for acting as he did, but Jason's actions weren't so clear and actually annoyed me a bit. I mean who turns his phone off for the whole week when he's been told his lover is going out of town and will phone because he doesn't want to be disappoint when he doesn't call #theboysgotissues
A Man Who Measures up by Cecil Wilde. - Easily my favourite story of the bunch. Damaged hero. Lace panties. Rocky Horror. What is not to love? Well written too. Loved it. All the stars.
