OPRAHHHHHH THAT WAS SO GOOD. literally read this in less than 12 hours, i enjoyed it so much.

the multiple perspectives, the entire premise of this book….MM! chef’s kiss. i loved getting to read from various people in big burr and how they were impacted by the lgbt taskforce coming to town. i loved how the stories were interwoven together and how characters would make appearances in others’ perspectives.

i would have loved to have gotten updates on all the people whose perspectives we read from, but i was content with ending the book with gabe’s pov. i think it did a nice job of showing how the taskforce was able to make changes on individual levels, which is just as important and necessary as the wide-spread changes that are so often focused on as being the most pressing issues. having more updates on the various perspectives would have given me more of a sense of closure but still..

good stuff!!
