The Barrens by Kurt and Ellie Johnson 📕 

This story is a devastatingly beautiful LGBTQ adventure that follows a college-aged couple canoeing through the Canadian Arctic on their summer break. 

The rugged setting and the complicated, nuanced characters made this a instant favorite for me. 

This was sent to me as an ARC and comes out May 2022. I definitely would encourage you to pick it up if you 

- love a queer coming of age story
- enjoy adventure documentaries from the safety of your couch
- enjoy a fast paced read 

4.5 ⭐️
