About this listen

A queer retelling of Romeo and Juliet, except no one has to bury their gays.

A decades-old family rivalry is reaching a boiling point as the patriarchs vie for a seat in congress. Democrat vs Republican, Muslim vs Christian, Hashmi vs Swain - the Midwestern town of Arbor Hills is one spark away from an explosion of violence. So when two men find themselves irresistibly drawn together at a party, only to discover they were born on opposite sides of a bloody battle line, Matthew Swain and Rabi Hashmi know they should leave well enough alone.

The pull between them is magnetic, though, and it's too strong to ignore. Unable to resist, they meet again in secret. Generations of hatred can't temper the passionate love growing between them, but two men falling for each other in the middle of a war zone can't hold back the inevitable clash.

And when decades of political, religious, and personal strife finally come to a head, there will be blood.

I’ve enjoyed several other books by this author, and performances by M Ferraiuolo, but I found this one pretty boring despite liking the set up of a couple facing not only homophobia but barriers of public prejudice based on religion & political affiliation. I feel like it should have been much more substantial and interesting a story that it actually was.

Unfortunately, dull
