I adored this book. I hadn't read anything by the writer previously but was completely taken by this funny, unique, and deeply moving novel. I love the queer storylines and the way the writer puts sex on the page. I also love the explorations of non-traditional relationship structures. The satire on class was really good, and the narrative voice kept a great balance between coy and permissive. The ending will absolutely never leave my mind; as I was getting to the end, I kept wondering if he was really going to that place, and he did, and it was amazing. Truly a 10/10 read

This book is not for me. I was actually intrigued by the premise and wondered how it would go but it’s just no. Between the righting style and the plot in general, I did not enjoy this at all. I can see how some might, but it’s not for me.
