I enjoyed the story overall, it was just a little slow in parts. I think it's diverse in terms of LGBTQ orientation but at the end of the day, the story is a little America-centric. Then again, it has a strong sense of place and it felt authentic to the world that it was portraying. Definitely worth reading overall.
