I wasn’t ever really sure where this storyline was trying to go. Going in, I thought it would circulate over a cult-like compound with some fantasy theme tied in; unfortunately, those two aspects were only brushed over throughout the book.

Sorrowland: A Novel left me feeling uncomfortable with unnecessary & tasteless x-rated scenes. I’ll wholeheartedly defend an LGBTQ book when written with reasonable and resectable scenes that pertain to the main storyline, but this just wasn’t it. Gender fluidity could have been portrayed so much better, in my opinion.
