Ok, this book was.... not great.
I love the nb rep and the wild west vibes.
The fact that Lou talked with that horrible accent the whole time.... bad. Plus their dialect was mixed in with so many modern quips and fuck yous and middle fingers and jokes. The word "proper" was used over 50 times in the book.... which it's in the title but I didn't need to be bludgeoned to death with it. The plot was full of lots of minor somewhat (but not really) connected conflicts. Clementine was always jealous and it added so many unnecessary problems 😒
We need more queer westerns but this was tough. I really wanted to love it.
