I wanted to like this book: queer, feminist, Western - the premise is so great! However, the whole thing read like a very rough first draft; it needed a lot of editing and it needed to be developed! The author needed to include more detail throughout this story. There was too much that wasn’t explored or that didn’t quite make sense because it just dove into the action without explaining, and when it did explain, the explanation was clunky. A cool premise, but poorly written.

Excellent bite size book about a group of Librarians trying to live their truth.
When Esther runs away from a traumatic situation she hides herself away in one of the librarian's wagons. She tries to make herself useful to the group and finds herself in the process.
Hard to explain the plot because it's more about the growth of Esther, but it's basically an alternate history, western frontier tale.
I think if you enjoyed The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek, or gay westerns, or strong feminist western adventure tales then this is for you!

LOL I don't know what I expected, but this wasn't it. Who knew this was a futuristic dystopian LGBTQ novel? I had no idea, but I really did like the story, writing, and characters.
It gets 3 starts, however, because the book left so much unanswered. These women live in a future wild west when there are cars, but no fuel, so people travel by horseback again. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? We never learn.
In this future southwest U.S., women and LGBTQs have no rights, and little knowledge of rights they once had. But again, there's no explanation of what happened in between.
This book is too short and I wanted more. I wanted back story. And I want to know what happens in UTAH!
