Now the characters…I have very mixed feelings about them. I do feel bad for the main character Neil for going through so much abuse and other traumatic things throughout his life, but he does give me edge lord vibes. The other characters, such as Kevin and Andrew, have also experienced traumatic things in their lives and also give me edgey vibes. I know if I read this as a teenager, during the peak of the tumblr era, I would have ate this up. I know this series is a trilogy, so I believe more character development will happen in the later books if I decide to read them. I do have a slight problem with Nicky’s character. So far he’s the only confirmed gay character, he’s written as sort of predatory toward any good looking man, especially Neil. He even forces Neil to kiss him while Neil is drugged up, which rubbed me the wrong way. I understand the not every character has to be morally good, but having the only confirmed gay character act like that was very concerning. There was also other things that could be very triggering to readers, such as the use of slurs and mentions of suicide, so I advise people to look up trigger warnings before reading this book.

Hope was a dangerous, disquieting thing, but he thought perhaps he liked it.
