  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.5

What annoyed me the most about this book is that at times Andre Aciman was so comfortabl writing about explicit and VILE scenes however when it came to the word sex he always referred to it as " love making " ???? Just say it as it is. 
I gave 2.5 stars mainly for the poetic / lyrical writing aswell as aesthetic but that's all. 
There are so many better books out there with LGBTQ+ romance and characters that dont romantacise  grooming and pedophilia.
