Review:
Wow, this book! It's hard to even articulate how I feel about it but in short terms, I loved it.
This is an intimate, painful and beautiful story of a young man coming to terms with his feelings and it is in many ways a sort of coming of age story. It's a story of a life defining romance, of intimacy and sex and everything in between. There are so many complicated feelings that we see in our main characters and it's incredible how much it felt like I was really inside of his head.
I absolutely adore the writings style in this; it's so raw, intimate and the way that it captures the main characters private thoughts is just beyond. It captures longing and desire, and it's agonising in the way it does it, but in the best way. There's an intensity to this whole novel that I just love.
It's not a plot heavy novel at all, it's an entirely character driven story and it's very much about the feelings and thoughts of the main character, which makes it a bit repetitive, but honestly, I just loved every bit of this.
