What can I say, I’m a sucker for a good Wild West setting. Throw in some queer folks and there was no way I was putting this book down before I finished it.

A gay western meets the dystopia of Handmaids Tale. North writes intricate characters that push the narrative of understanding what makes us different does not make us less than. A great feminist read.

I had a really good time reading this. It felt like exactly the type of thing I needed to kickstart my end-of-year reading/get me out of a small reading slump. It was exciting to get to see so many diverse types of queerness and identity in a setting where those histories are often erased. This novel managed to get a lot done in a short space while not feeling overly rushed. 

I'm really fucking upset about Lark, though. Who would have guessed I could simp so hard for a man? I'm still mourning his life with Ada in Pagosa Springs. I do wish there was more of a clear build-up to Ada being ready to take over Alice's surgery, but I also think given the pace of the book, it was still really well done. 

Yay for queer cowboys!
