For anyone who likes a sapphic take on a wild west, this is a fun and funny romp. The MC is a hoot, and hearing the story from her perspective is entertaining. The book did some interesting things with respectability politics and class. For me, the pacing was a bit off--it was very slow moving for the first 3/4, and then the final culminating action felt rushed at the end. There was a lot of ambiance, and for me I wished there was more happening, and less meandering. That's just a personal preference--for anyone ready to just hang out in the story, it's a good time.
