The characters felt incredibly real and although the story was dark and intense, it felt realistic.   I found the writing style refreshing and the way it is written and set out made me not want to put the book down!

I enjoyed that there were normalised LGBT characters, with flaws and all, and even other characters reactions to these LGBT characters was realistic (which unfortunately does include hatred)
