A freshman-year romance built around a hidden truth

Lily is navigating college classes, new social and romantic connections, and the risks she associates with being out as a trans woman. The description then complicates that picture: Lily is presenting herself as closeted and transitioning in secret, but is not transitioning at all. That contradiction places questions of identity, disclosure, and personal safety alongside the pressures of starting college. The book is categorized as LGBTQ+ transgender romance, with its premise centering on the gap between what Lily’s friends believe and what she says is true.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adult readers interested in LGBTQ+ transgender romance.
  • Readers seeking a college-based story involving identity, disclosure, and social relationships.

Book overview

Lily's freshman year is proving hard. She's not used to having a social life, or a love life - and now she's got both. She's also got to keep up with classes and a mountain of studying.

Since she just came out as trans to her friends, she's got to be careful not to put herself in danger. Every social interaction risks someone taking exception to something she says, or her very identity.

But there's one important thing that no-one knows about Lily. If it ever does get too much - she could escape the danger. Because she's not really a deeply closeted trans girl.

She's not really transitioning in secret. She's not really transitioning at all.

She's just pretending.
