Intriguing concept with this one, but rather poorly executed. I got the overall sense that this book didn't really know what it wanted to be. There were a lot of pages spent on irrelevant details, and very few spent focusing on what actually mattered like development of the plot and relationship. The book kind of seemed to breeze over the awakening sexualities of both MCs, which seems like a pretty important thing to skip over. I also felt that the themes of homophobia, infidelity, PTSD, and abuse-of-power were handled rather poorly, and it would have worked better to just focus on one or two of those topics.
The MCs were likeable enough, though their logic was frustrating at times, and Dante could've benefitted from more development.
