The only thing I can critizise is the writing stile. Mr. Loverman is the second Evaristo book I have read and as with the first one (Girl, Woman, Other) I found the books quite exhausting to read. (I have to say english is not my native language but I would rate my skills a C2 or something like that anyway.)
Moderate: Homophobia
Minor: Domestic abuse
