This book is gorgeously written with prose that washes over you just beautifully and characters and settings that are rendered full of life. But it does verge towards what some might call tragedy p*rn; I don’t think it’s for the faint of heart. It hurts in places and I had to take a few prolonged breaks.

beautiful and also nauseatingly upsetting and unflinchingly violent. what are your options for the future as a queer child in a harsh place? what does care look like in a community that hurts its members just as much as it looks out for them? to all the gentle sons of glasgow. oof.
