    • Publisher: Pyland Publishing LLC, 2020
    • Genre: Romance, LGBTQ+
    • Format: Ebook
    • Page Count: 225 pages
    • My Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)

    Content warnings: loss of father figure, loss of loved one, alcoholism, anxiety

    “You’re not a terrible coach. You were just not meant to be mine because you were meant to be so much more.”

    Madison

About Me

Lí-hó!! I am Hsinju (they/she), a Taiwanese book blogger, writer, and full-time grad student in engineering. Here, I mainly review books featuring authentically represented LGBTQ+ characters and/or written by LGBTQ+ authors. You’d usually find me going about life with my heart stuck in the last book I finished.
