This was haunting and sad and erotic and visceral and deeply sensual - both in the sexual and sensory meanings of that word. My heart broke for Jonny as a character even as I loved him, wanted good things for him, hoped for things that I knew would not happen. He felt very real, in part due to the nonlinear writing style that felt more like a train of thought than a narrative. The audiobook was narrated by the author and that definitely added to my experience. I want to read more from this author, and other two-spirit and indigiqueer authors.

Thank you to NetGalley and ECW Press Audio/Bespeak Audio Editions for free access to the audiobook!
