But then it was like he just became Ben and it totally worked for me. It was sad at parts but not all the way through. There were some genuinely good people in Ben's life and it ended on a very hopeful note.

It sounds so darn good, not only because nonbinary rep is very rare in fiction, but also because the relationship between Ben and Nathan sounds lovely.
