A small town in Texas, in the late 90’s. The have’s and the have-nots. Closeted gay guys. Con artists. Infidelities. Drunk and high teenagers. Bible thumpers.
In many ways, this book is a tremendous amount of fun. It’s campy. It’s a big old soap opera. The characters are one dimensional and also full of secrets. What a ride.
It’s also just a bit too ridiculous. I rolled my eyes so far back in my head that I lost my balance.
But if this became a show on Netflix, I’d hit “add to watch list” so fast…
Thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for the ARC. Book to be published January 18, 2026.
