This book is inherently readable. I started it yesterday, not planning on getting too far in before switching to the other book I'm reading, but I couldn't stop listening. White's writing style seems to do that in every book he writes, and this one is no different.

All books are political in nature, but this book speaks to the current political climate in the US, especially as it relates to small rural communities and being queer. Miles realizes throughout the book that community is truly the way to go.

Miles' identity journey in this book also feels realistic, finding pieces of himself as he goes along. Especially in his realization of being aromantic. If you can stomach the more horror aspects of the book, I'd definitely recommend this one for the fall season!
