(W) Neil Gaiman (A) Andy Kubert (CA) Scott McKowen ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Josh and Caleb experience NO outside homophobia, whatever shame there may be is internal and negligible, which I find highly unlikely after so many years of religious brainwashing. And it was a sweet story, following them across country and see them settling down together. Josh and Caleb were very likable characters, especially Josh, who is the main protagonist and thereby the one we get to know the best. They meet up and road trips it across the country to a woman who escaped the compound 5 years earlier. Luckily, he is tipped off, that this will happen, and Caleb prepares him and tells him, he will come too. Such a fate befalls our main protagonist Josh. Since every man on the compound apparently have to have 4-5 wives, there aren’t enough girls to go around, so some of the young men tend to disappear, when they come of age. Josh and Caleb are living in a polygamist cult on a compound completely secluded from the outside world. Josh is madly in love with his best friend Caleb, and has been for most of his life, even though he knows that nothing can ever come of it and he is destined to watch Caleb marry and get on with his life from the sidelines. I received a free copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review.
