Wow, I did not care about a single person in this book even a little bit?
What a bizarre and boring plot. No emotional depth whatsoever!
Werewolves for what reason?
Obviously not for me but could totally be for you, just not what iIm into at at the moment at all.

The braided back and forth structure is perfect.
So much about how love and bodies and gender and attraction intersect!
Loved it.
