Story of Achilles, but poverty his gay lover.
This was a slog to get through for me for some reason... I had to restart it 3x. And go over things again and again. Not that I didn't like or enjoy it, I think my head space was just bad.
I did notice that the physical/affection scenes written between the main guy and the women in his life were very sweet and soft... and not enough of that between him and Achilles.
