This book had a lot of good bones. It needed to decide what it wanted to be about. Too many elements, none of which were truly explored with any depth. Lacked believability. The MC, within the first two chapters, I think, befriends a kid from the streets, takes him home, the kid is calling him dad within like a week. Let's just pretend that a police officer would actually let the kid, who is in the foster system, go home with a complete stranger and that the foster system would be just fine with it too. And that this trouble teen would go from troubled to tame and loving and problem-free literally overnight. Okay. But on top of it, the MC wanders into the love of his life two minutes after breaking up with his boyfriend to the point he's confessing deep, dark truths that he's never told anyone ever.

Take a deep breath and some time to explore these elements.
