As for the story, it was an interesting story of overcoming the trauma in his life. I do feel that Luis had a very external locus of control seeing everything as someone else’s fault with no responsibility for himself. The final chapters did resolve that as he started to take control of his life but he never seemed to take responsibility for the wrong things that he did without anyone telling him to. Finally, he went into great detail about his drug use but didn’t portray it as a negative thing but rather as a wonderful seductive experience that he lived for.

Toxic masculinity and ableism are deeply entrenched in this lifestyle, so approach with caution.
