This is a queer retelling of Jane Austens Northranger Abbey. I am disappointed that a lot of the gothicness of the original story has been removed. The story at times felt like it was forcing a narrative like sending the MC to live on a ranch to make money -it felt slightly orchestrated. I eventually stopped comparing it to the original by Jane Austen and then enjoyed it much more. It addresses homophobia is a small town., as well as outsiders in a small town. This graphic novel is a gay ranch romance that’s low on the spice scale.
