Setting: New York
Rep: gay protagonist with visual issues
I read this as an audiobook over quite a long period of time as I'm in a bit of a slump and I did enjoy it, but I found all of the characters to be thoroughly unlikeable and some plot points (like the fictional country) seemed a bit odd. The protagonist was so unbearable especially with how ignorant he was about his obvious and painful eye condition, refusing to take medication despite it getting worse. I found him very irritating!
