I love this book. It’s extremely tender and worth your time to read. I will miss these characters.

“I think we both believed that joy could not exist without us being together, but we’re old enough now to know otherwise. We’re old enough now to know that joy is not dependent on another person, no matter how much we want it to be.”

The queer characters were as obnoxious as the group I knew in college when I was in school in 2015, usually I could look over it but it was dizzying.
I had to DNF, I appreciate the trigger warnings but it was still too much for me, in terms of rape.

This is a difficult read. The content is hard and certainly could triggering.
Having said that it is a beautifully exposition of both the queer experience and that of a survivor of SA.
As a CIS white man I found it very informative and in the end heartwarming. I also was surprised how relate able I found the MC seeing as we monumentally different traumas and life experiences.
