Cattle Stop by Kit Oliver

4.0

Reread 8/19/23: the second time around, some of the moments or aspects I didn't mind became a bit irritating. This has emotionally constipated MCs who need to communicate with each other. The writing and characters felt realistic, but damn was it irritating watching a bunch of people that need to talk to each other avoid any hard conversations.

Bad stuff out of the way - this setting is what gets me. There's cows and working outside and cheese making and cuddles in twin size beds. It's cozy, it's comforting seeing a solid group of 4 friends, the small town but also very gay setting. Yes, very much like being wrapped in a warm hug. When they're together, there's so much intimacy tied in as well.

Also absolutely loved the ending.
