I really struggled to get into this book. Despite it touching on some really important themes such as racism and exploring ideas of sexuality in 1950s America, I felt the plot was lacking a lot. It also sort of felt like the same themes were being brought up but very one dimensional. The part which I did enjoy and I read through quickly was ‘Book Two’ where Eric and Yves were the focus.
