It was an interesting story, framed interestingly - as the main character didn’t narrate their own story. The writing was careful and well-placed, which I appreciated :)

Not too many books on the topic of purely masculine friendship, which is why I picked it up - thanks for a intruiging read. I wish there was a slight more definitive ending. I felt like it could’ve ended before the tv interview. I didn’t really think there was a point in including the final pages. What’s said has been said.
