As La Vista Turns by Kris Ripper
4.0
I love, love this whole series. It's the urban, queer version of a small town romance series that I didn't know I needed, but I did. It centers around a scruffy queer bar and a queer youth center in a fictional version of Oakland CA.
This is the 5th and last book. It's not at all stand alone, in my opinion. There's an over arching murder mystery that was solved in book 4 and there's a lot about healing the community from the earlier string of murders. I suppose you could read it without reading the rest but then you'd know the murder's identity.
I thought it wrapped the series up really well. I thought the romance was a little understated. And there's a sub-plot about starting a new career program thingie for queer youth that I felt was distracting and also felt like a set up for a new series.
