This book is incredibly well written. The difference in writing style between the characters, the depth with which they are built is incredible.

I don’t think I have ever hated a book character more in my entire life. Marion is so incredibly selfish - and the author does such a good job at introducing this fatal flaw from the beginning, and it slowly builds up until the very end.

I think that this book was a great way to showcase how hard it was to be gay in the 1950s. I do think that this book sheds light on an important subject and I loved reading about a place that I’ve actually been to (Brighton, England) and it brought back memories of my own. It was a sad read, and there wasn’t much of a plot other than a love triangle. I thought it would be better.
