this book is nasty. i mean i get it it was set in 1851 but gosh i feel so uncomfortable most of the time reading that. this book unravels how mcglue might or might not killed his best friend. the main character is so unlikeable but his relationship with johnson is sweet and kinda sus from the start. the idea was so interesting to me but actually reading it is just meh idk
