SO UNBELIEVABLY BORING.

While the cover and the concept are valuable - this book felt like a chore. A punishment. It was so goddamn slow. And I, a regular of the #slowburn AO3 tag, consider myself to be a patient woman. I love a build up, I love a will-they-won't-they, I love a narrator that takes her time setting the stage for the coming events - usually. But this was excruciating. The main character reminds me of every evangelical horse girl I grew up with (I'm from South Lake Tahoe, we specialize in those), making it impossible for me to give a shit about her or the conflicts she finds herself in.

The plot has promise. I love lesbians in a desert setting and I'm sure were it to be made into a film the costumes and soundtrack would be impeccable (I'm still waiting for Kissin' Kate Barlow to get her spinoff movie), but holy shit was this book a long slog.

If you need a cute cover to complete your shelf or bedside table (I too am a victim of the Pinterest disease, the need to aesthetically brand every aspect of your daily life, enter that Atwood quote about being our own voyeurs..), there are far better options with actually enjoyable content.
