This is the best book I have ever read. I say this without hyperbole. I have never had so much meaning put into so few words. The queer subtext was rolling over the pages, without a single recognizable word of queer vernacular. It was achingly beautiful

The blurb and the plot jacket is pure literary clickbait lmfao this is one of the most misery inducing books I've read. Not that it doesn't have literary merit though, it's just very different from what the novel's jacket told us it was about, and I blame the publisher for that. Kind of coming of age, VERY complex and a really ambiguous ending with no comforting resolutions.
