Objectively, this book was great. I enjoyed the writing, the plot. But. (there's always a but, isn't there?)
The most major thing that irked me was
the fact that Luis cheated on Cheng. And even before the kiss, he was thinking about Chez, and was always thinking about their tension. That just rubbed me in the wrong way. And the fact that he was totally fine after, and Cheng was also totally fine after, was just no.

There's also the fact that Luis is out and proud (good for him) except that makes him a little...unsensitive to people who aren't out and proud.
I'm glad he learned his lesson (kind of?) at the end, and how dangerous it could be for someone to be out. And I am glad that he inspired Chez (love him) to accept himself
.
I love Nix and Chex <33333
