I think I just had a hard time because I would think the narrative was trying to lead me down one path and then it would lead me down a different one entirely. Still, I liked the country queers vibes and it was overall enjoyable. I honestly think the book would have been better without the romance. It really feels like the B plot, which makes categorizing it as a romance novel a bit unrealistic.

I have to admit I also thought Ray was kind of a jerk and I thought that's what we were supposed to think so I was surprised when they end up together even tho Ray is very shallow and uncommitted.

3.5, this was one of the most unique settings of a romance that i have read and i love not having to read about straight people!! however, i was more interested in them renoing the house and living off the land and was a bit robbed of that experience. once the two mcs got together it felt a little rushed and i didn't really feel the connection between the two characters. but i liked the em a lot and her own personal journey! overall i liked the subplot over the main romance plot.

This book was just aggressively average. Couldn’t even tell you the characters names and I didn’t feel any chemistry between them at all
