Read this with Eri and that only enhanced this book for me. Really miss the South--being a Southern Queer is so different and valuable and complex and this book touched on those emotions and so many more. I'm thankful for it.

Created in response to """coastal elites""" dismissing the midwest and south and its inhabitants, it was difficult to pin down who this book was created for. As a queer person who lives in the midwest, I wanted more in-depth analysis and examination of why queer people lived where they did. It was sweet and accessible, but I wanted more than just "hey look, there's a tight-knit LGBTQ+ community in this midwestern city!"

Both a passionate story about queer communities in conservative towns and cities in America and the authors recounting of her own time spent in these places, this is the only love letter to the US I'm interested at the moment.
