Not one but TWO <queer reveals>! Joking aside, I really really liked this. I've read three of Rina's graphic novels now and I think this is the most effective use of her visual style. The use of color was particularly effective. I also enjoyed the storyline and hope there is actually a continuation as the ending teases!

My personal challenge to read more Filipino books has definitely led me to works and styles that I normally wouldn't pick up otherwise. This noir graphic novel was a great example taking place in Depression era California from the fields to the Bay Area. It took me awhile to get used to the style but I ended up appreciating the twists and turns and how the story unfolded. I also liked the surprising yet not spoilery LGBTQ+ content.
