This one was rough. Probably would have skipped if I had read the trigger warnings first.

The first book in the Grant County series was fucked up but fun. I hated Kisscut. I could rant for hours about how gross it is. I don’t know if the homophobic and anti-choice protagonists are a product of the time but I found it really disturbing in a book full of pedophilia and police brutality.
