I was really excited to read this story. The premise of the book - a task force being sent to the most homophobic town in the United States to educate the population about LGBTQ+ issues - was really unique, but the way Laskey decided to write the story just didn't work for me. This novel is told from multiple perspectives with the narrator switching every chapter. Because of this, I did not feel invested in each character's story. From the reader's perspective, there just wasn't enough time with each of them. I also felt that some of the descriptions of Big Burr (the fictional town deemed the most homophobic) and its residents were somewhat unrealistic. Overall, there were quite a few aspects of this book that didn't sit right with me.
**If you are considering adding this to your reading list, I do have to warn you of the possible trigger of animal cruelty. It is only present in one of the chapters, but it was certainly difficult to read.
