This was so messy and fun! Imagine if we saw the inner workings of the dance troupe at a summer retreat?? That’s this. The group of queer dancers gets SO MESSY. It was fun to read and will be a great summer addition to your summer TBR. Or request the ARC and take mental vacation now! Thanks to @netgalley and @stmartinspress for the ARC.
