I really wanted to like this book. For starters, I was expecting something completely different so that's on me, I suppose. Based on the title & description, I fully expected to finish this book within a few days but after 3 or 4 restarts, even trying various forms of media (physical, audio, & digital), I finally forced myself to trudge through it & finish. It was slow-going & boring up to around 85% through, when it finally picked up pace. And what is it with all the books coming out now pushing gay relationships? We get it; you're woke. I'm evil & old-fashioned. Except I'm not & a whole generation of authors thinks it's something they need to feature to get that other crowd's money, I guess. Smh. Don't have to cater to sell a book.
