The last 50 pages broke my heart over and over again. We all know I would have never picked up this book without H, just because I’m a sucker for fantasy and happy endings. But I enjoyed this so so much, not only because it is set in Brighton but because it is such a heart wrenching story told absolutely beautifully. I will think about this one for a long long time.
Graphic: Homophobia, Suicide, and Outing
Moderate: Infidelity, Terminal illness, and Police brutality
