This book was truly a delight to read, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I only sort of wish the main character had been slightly less terrible to other people but by the end he did make up for it sufficiently in my opinion.

I really enjoyed this book! I will say that I wish that Luke had gotten fleshed out a little more consistently, but I think part of that was that Elliot was an unreliable narrator and didn't really consider Luke's interiority that deeply. I also think that the characterization was a little all over the place and I wish more time had been dedicated to developing Luke and Elliot's relationshop. It's one of those books that's great as is, but a more thorough editer could have made it phenomenal. Overall, though, I had a lot of fun! I love the narration style and the tone so much and the characters are dear to my heart <3
