Wow, John Fram you really got me with this one. But I actually can’t decide if I loved it or just liked it. 

With the exception of Luca, I didn’t like these characters too much. We’re not meant to like the Wright family, so that makes sense, but even as the villains they weren’t enjoyable. 

I didn’t guess big picture where the story was going, and for that I loved this. But the bigotry was hard to read and I already don’t like televangelist IRL so reading about the Wright family gave me the ick. 

Queerness is at the center of this story and I love that, but with this being a thriller, I worry that it does more harm than good. Trans individuals experience hate, violence and danger every day — do we need to read about it in our fiction too? 

Drug use and addiction are also heavily discussed. I recommend reviewing triggers if you decide to read this one. 

* I listened to the audio and the narration was not my favorite.
