I overall liked it but the parts with Sasha and Tommy felt a bit queer-baity to me. I didn't really understand why Monti loved Sasha but all the characters are flawed in their own ways and the exploration of their flaws are a main theme of the book. I wouldn't say they were likeable, but they were human.
I think the author has a lot of promise for any future works but maybe more care could be taken with LGBTQ+ identities and stuff.
