This book was so depressing. That’s in part because it’s so well written. And well narrated. But this is just not a time and place when I want to read about being scared, being illegal, being murdered. I could just take my gay butt to Florida or Texas. Or Montana. Or rural Oregon. It’s hard to feel safe these days. People loving this better get out and vote in our favor is all I’m saying, this is not distant history. The ending made me feel dead inside.
