Have Mercy by Christina Lee

I was already uneasy with this being a "family member's ex" trope, and add onto the fact that the family member and the ex still live/work together and this book gave me stomach rumblings. Also the fact that there seems to be an idealized version of farming going on.
Like, I can compartmentalize my negative feelings about animal farming in general, but when authors go out of their way to make it seem like farmers are besties with animals like cows (as opposed to labor animals like horses), I just can't. I was not able to suspend disbelief here.
