Queen B’s Decree: To Get to the Other Side started off strong, with Trixie finding an injured chicken on the side of the road and rescuing her. She needs to find a new place to stay after her landlord kicks her out for breaking the no pets policy, and she ends up with Bear—the man who helped her rescue the chicken.
So I was invested and interested at the beginning. But then it just kind of went nowhere and I got bored. Trixie is a complicated character that I just didn’t connect with; she really needs some therapy. And Bear is kind of the same, damaged and still struggling with his childhood trauma.
So both characters were just kind of a mess and I just wanted everyone to get therapy. Thanks to Alcove Press for the review copy, but To Get to the Other Side was not for me.
