the writing was amazing, the plot wasnt. marion, one of the main three characters and also the main narrator, was infuriating as a person. patrick just got served the run of the mill "bury/torture your gays" trope with that random double stroke????? and tom literally did nothing, he just stood there and got his dick sucked and looked pretty. the author apparently didnt think him deserving to have at least a chapter where he speaks his mind about this whole "sharing" arrangement them three have.

Beautiful prose. Gut wrenching yet cute story. Satisfying yet I-want-more ending.

I loved this book. I did not like Marion or Tom or Patrick.
But I hated -and will continue doing so- homophobia.

Do you know how many lives are ruined every year, because the majority of the people cannot withstand two adults liking each other?

Fuck homophobia. And fuck homophobes.
