Also one hand the two men the book is in the perspective of grew up in hostile environments and the main cast is their families so it could just be what they would find normalized but it was difficult to tell of the novel took domestic violence seriously especially violence involving throwing things?

This book is absolutely like that too, but as it comes together, you start to see that, yeah, they're all total fucking dicks, but also, they all have redeeming qualities and there are little nuggets of gold. In the end, I just felt sad for everyone.
I feel like I hate the content of these books, but I can't bring myself to hate the books themselves? Like, big ups to the authors for writing about the absolute worst qualities of people.
Moderate: Domestic abuse and Homophobia
