Im a little torn on this. The beginning of the book sort of sold me a lie. It starts out quirky, a little silly, and with Sean putting his foot in his mouth out of naivete. Theres a lot of 4th wall breaking and "aw shucks" narration. But then I was jump scared by intense torture mentions out of nowhere and it progressively got more intense and dark regarding Sean's backstory and mental health. It feels like two separate books from the beginning half to the end half. I actually prefer the latter tone over the beginning tone but it was weird how it changed.
I enjoyed Coopers shock at Sean having a a great grandma still alive. I think southern women tend to have babies younger so for Sean, it was unremarkable but Cooper hadn't had a family at all, let alone a great grandma. The interactions between Sean and Cooper are funny. I loved the nipple play scenes and discussion about pain getting Cooper hard. The sex scenes were good and the narrator was good too except the slightly southern accent he put on for Sean wasn't my favorite.
