really excellent and stunningly written. the only reason it’s not five stars is because i think the author tried to touch on too many subjects (queer identity, racial identity, fat phobia) without going deeper into any of them. we got these characters perspectives for one or two chapters and never really fleshed out their issues in a meaningful way, esp with Quentin. otherwise it was very very good
