When a fictional town in Kansas is labeled the ‘most homophobic town in America,’ a LGBTQ activist group moves to the area in an effort to open the hearts and change the perspectives of the town’s residents.

This story has multiple narrators, each of which narrates only once throughout the book (except for one). The author balanced the narration with differing viewpoints (characters who were residents and others who were activists). I was nervous that the different narrators wouldn’t present a cohesive story, but the author did an excellent job employing this literary technique to build the theme of community. I really enjoyed getting to experience the the different narrators’ innermost thoughts as well as the perception of the narrator by everyone else.

The only thing I wished was to have a little more time with some of the characters. A few of the storylines were left unfinished or unmentioned after the narrator's chapter. This is a fast, but thoughtful read that was a great example of bridging together differing communities in hopes of understanding each other.
