This was a pretty quick read and it's nice to read lgbtq+ fiction outside the super sanitized NA fluff that's popular online. Unfortunately I found the stream of consciousness memory hopping style a bit detached and disjointed and the child abuse content is a lot, especially since a lot of it is presented like it's a joke. There were some really great moments in this but it definitely won't be for everyone.

Deshawn takes a roller coaster of a journey through his memories. This is one quick but very deep read.
