Lightning review at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books 
 Very brief summary: a quiet, closeted archeology professor inches from tenure at a Christian college agrees to give an exuberant, confident video game designer a ride home when said designer is abandoned at an RV park by his new boyfriend, and on the way, they visit Bone Town. 
 This story had powerful internal conflict and protagonists who were extremely different from one another. 
 The conflict and distance the characters have to travel emotionally and geographically to make their relationship work kept me reading until the end, but there were several chapters I had to push myself through because of pacing, overly-sweet dialogue, or downright purple prose.
