This book has been on my TBR for several years, meant to fulfill a challenging entry in the Alphabet Reading Challenge. I finally got to the audio at the start of this year and...found it somewhat lacking. While I did appreciate the queer and Indigenous representation, this book was, overall, a pretty big bummer. Huge CW for homophobia, racism, alcoholism, and abuse. Maybe the romance genre has spoiled me, but I found myself left wanting a more conclusive happily ever after.
Graphic: Homophobia, Racial slurs, Racism
Moderate: Alcoholism, Violence
