About this listen
Stuart Leandro knows he's washed up, both on the big screen and in his marriage. Then, when things take an even bigger turn for the worse one night, he winds up blind drunk and lost in a foreign city.
Thankfully, someone's there to rescue him before his face ends up plastered all over the tabloids.
Wary of the motives of the reclusive stranger who brings the fading star into the quiet shelter of a hip but isolated loft, Stuart nonetheless can't deny his curiosity...or his attraction. Tim is unlike anyone the actor has ever met, but underneath the mystery and quiet attempts at invisibility, Stuart discovers someone whose life has been intertwined with his own for years.
Neither could have predicted that Tim's act of kindness would lead to one of the most intense encounters of their lives - but, are they willing to weather the media storm their extraordinary relationship will cause?

I get that it is written from the perspective of a cis man, but the misgendering of Tim lasts at least half the story (or it felt like that, anyway). It might just be that I am not the target audience and it's intended for cis people to become aware of the existence of trans men, but as a trans guy myself, it hurt. Also, if that were the reasoning behind it, it would have been nice if the confusion had been solved sooner.
I'm not even going to go into terminology and anatomy, or the wrong assumptions about testosterone. All that is too nuanced to write about in an audible review. Let me just say that, in real life, the best thing to do is not make assumptions and let the trans person in question tell you what terms they prefer when it comes up.
One other thing that really doesn't sit well with me is the massive bi erasure. Hetero-curious? Homo-curious? What the actual....? Just say "huh, I think I like both men and women. Maybe I'm bisexual?"
Ok, rant over. If you ignore all of those issues, it's actually kind of a sweet story. I did enjoy the last half hour or so.
Very sad to be disappointed
