Like most billionaire romance novels, King of Wrath has a rather predictable premise, but was still an enjoyable read. I liked that the FMC struggled with her family's new status (new money vs old money). The MMC was your average rich white guy character with the occasional funny one-liner.

This memoir gave me lots of things to think about when it comes to gender roles and how they hurt everyone (not just Trans people) when they are upheld for too long. 

I would have liked for the author's partner, Diana, to have had a more active role in writing this memoir.
