I'm just a little tired of reading the style of psychological posturing that is both superior and cynical from a self deprecating homosexual for the tenth time, and the main character for this one was extra insufferable.
The male lead was predictable on account of being both sweet and occasionally yawn inducing. It did, however, make it a bit more humorous to imagine him as something closer to Miles Edgeworth. I'm ignoring how that seems almost like a coping mechanism.
I'm probably going to read the sequel then grumble about it too.
Moderate: Homophobia and Eating disorder

As a boring 9-5 gay, I identified with Oliver so so so much, and the feeling of feeling alienated by the stereotypes of your own community? Spot on.
And Luc? God, I love that fuck-up.
This book is a romance book, yes. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it has genuinely amazing characters and is written so well, I had serious heartache while listening to- well. Go find out for yourself.
Seriously the best iteration of the fake boyfriend trope I have come across.
