Thank you to the author for kindly giving me an ARC.
I absolutely loved this book as I knew I would! It was the defintion of queer joy, it felt like a warm hug after a rough day, and it had me smiling all throughout.
Both Boone and Wylie resonated with me and I felt an emotional connection to them both. Boone having the responsibility of caretaker looking after the ranch and his younger siblings was admirable, but it begged the question who looks after Boone. He was constantly putting his family first, which was extremely heartwarming, but he needed time to be his own person and look after his own life. Wylie being detached and a loner coming to a family queer ranch was so lovely to see. At first, he was understandably anxious and out of his depth, but I love that he gradually came to love the ranch as much as the others did.
The dynamic between the family was so wholesome and lovely. I loved the teasing of Boone and the tender moments where we saw that his family just wanted him to be happy. Wylie letting himself be vulnerable with them was great.
I wish I could live at Rainbow Ranch.
