GOTTA check those content warnings, folks!!

This is objectively a good book, but it was just more yucky than what I can handle right now. I was promised “lesbian cowboys” but it’s largely about child death and grief. Which is, you know, a trigger for me.

You’d probably like it though.

2.0

The biggest problem with this book is that it could have been so much better than it was. It could have been so inclusive and intersectional and diverse, and could have been a beautiful, in depth story of marginalised people coming together in a world that hates them.

Instead, we got the barest hint of that, with a very self centred, very white narrator that was, honestly, kind of boring.

The worst thing about this book was it wasn't bad. It just could have been incredible.
