Het is heel queer op een superfijne manier en er is iemand met een glazen oog, maar verder is het geen heel diverse groep mensen lijkt het. Super leuke manier van schrijven en meta-dingetjes in het boek, daar houd ik van. Veel gelachen, klein beetje traantjes gelaten en vooral gewoon genoten van de cozy vibes en interesse in de 'main maar toch back-up story line' over het wrak.

Pro tip: Lees niet de Nederlandse vertaling!

It's obvious the author isn't '...'phobic, it's a very queer book. But there are some mentions of queer people not being accepted by others.

5.7. Truly amazing, right up my alley (exactly what I expected of a book reviewed by KLG). Morally grey characters who screw up in big ways but learn to move forwards and live life and be happy despite this. All the characters, incl the protagonist, love interest(s), friends, family, etc were believable and flawed and so realistic. Much like PUitL, but much more explicit and dark. Themes of family dealing with mental health issues are heavy but well done.
