I read this as part of a queer literature bookclub. If it wasn't for bookclub I wouldn't have picked it up, let alone finished it. It was enjoyable to read, but at the end of the day there was limited depth to the characters. The book was too long and it would've worked a lot better pace-wise if it was compacted a bit more. 

I did like how the town of Riverstone felt alive, with all its characters and the ways they were connected to eachother.
