j'ai beaucoup aimé ce croisement de points de vue, ça s'enchaîne pas ni ne se croise comme on le penserait et ça donne du dynamisme au livre.
les personnages sont divers, j'ai eu tantôt envie de leur offrir des câlins, tantôt envie de leur éclater la tête tellement ils étaient insupportables.
l'écriture est aussi très belle, et le fait que chaque personnage ait son style d'écriture propre était vraiment chouette !
puis les sujets abordés sont intemporels et voir une histoire avec ces sujets là qui est parue en 2014, c'est encore mieux.

I didn't like most of the characters, so that made it harder to read the book. I did enjoy seeing some events from the perspective of multiple characters. It's mostly about the internal life of these characters; there isn't much that happens in the book.

This is exactly what I needed after reading When Katie Met Cassidy. Korneliussen managed to write a powerful story about discovering one's sexuality, and the complicated intertwinings of people in the same queer community all in such a short novel centered on one night. I sped through it and almost missed my bus stop (that's how you know it's really good).
If this was a TikTok sound, it would be the "This is a work of art" (with WKMC as the "this is bullsh*t") as the comparison between two books that talk about queer people discovering their sexuality.

I didn't love the way the trans character was written, and a lot of discussions of sexuality and gender felt very cis-centric and surface level, but it was still an interesting read.
