There are things I liked about this book and things that I didn't liked about it.
At first I found it quite boring since it reminded me of a Netflix series (Riverdale). There was a lot of swearing in the beginning and it threw me off a bit. Only about 3/5 in on the book it started to get interesting for me. Overall the Characters were promising - especially when you get to the middle - but some choices were weird. It didn't feel right.
Plus there were some plot points and revelation I felt like they didn't really fit. Like:
(For instance I didn't vibe with Brian suddenly being Zoey's Dad or Ashton suddenly being a Stalker and trying to kill her.)
In the end I can confidently say that it indeed is like Riverdale (but in gay). Characters that would be great if they were written just a tad different with more depth. Plot lines that seem random even if they make sense. It gives you the feeling of a mid series that you still watch because somehow you're still hooked on it. At least that's what I think is Riverdale about.
