A fun and chaotic sapphic western largely based around a woman-run brothel. In this tale it’s the cowboys who are flat, brief characters and the women who have adventurous and romantically messy lives. Not a very political read, but a fun one.

I wouldn't say I'm into westerns, but when I see a new one described as being a bit out of the ordinary in terms of gender, I feel inspired to pick it up. This feels very historical-fiction-like but certainly your typical western gunslinging is included. It mostly takes place in a brothel and shows the ladies in a very emphatic light, just trying to make a living. The queer "twist" was a highlight just to make it different and the story went in a way I couldn't have guessed. I was entertained!
