3.5/5 stars. This is the third book that I read from Eric LaRocca and I have to say, that it’s the one I like the least. But it’s not to say it’s bad by any means, but compared to Things Got Worse Since We Last Spoke and We Can Never Leave This Place, this one is almost a little more on the soft side.
You still need to like darker and sadder books in order to like this one, specially because Eric managed once again to describe very well what characters felt through certain episodes. The book contains a couple suffering from homophobia and everything to do with these two characters, was a painful read. Specially as I am queer myself.
But either way, this book will be one I will recommend to people that can’t take something like Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke but that still want to get to know Eric’s work!
