Are you a fan of clever wordplays, Mérimée's "Carmen", Poe's "Annabel Lee", and ROAD TRIPS? Then this might be the book for you!
This book features:
an unreliable narrator
a dark-haired, brooding protagonist
an in-universe foreword
(implied?) lesbian side characters
lush descriptions of the great American landscape
allusions to postwar American culture
witty references to literary and historical figures
puns, many puns!
There Is Only One Bed™ (probably not the best occurrence of the trope, but eh)
Deaf/HoH side character
Amputee side character
Single parent MC (though he's definitely not an ideal one)
Parent-child conflict(s)
Runaway plot
uh yeah that's all the tropes that I can think about regarding this book without spoiling it too much

This is a game full of canon queer and neurodivergent rep! The two main characters are traumatized and end up gay for each other. There’s also a very cute lesbian couple, and the villain is a misogynist who you can beat up in many of the endings. Oh yeah, and the main character is autistic!
