Oliver is the biggest bitch to ever exist. All he does is take advantage of Isaac by offering him three thousand dollars in exchange for his virginity knowing that he doesn't have any orher options and that if he doesn't get money fast he wouldn't have anything to eat. After this he treats him like trash, tells him that he means nothing and that they should pretend like they don't know each other. After he says all that he gets jealous of Isaac and forbids anyone to talk to him. And what does Isaac do? Accepts it. He pretends to be a little upset, but after a few words gets on his knees. There is no love between the characters, only lust. No chemistry. The plot is idiotic. The characters were just plain ridiculous and the character development laughable. This could have been a good story about religious trauma, sexuality, freedom and about accepting who you are, but no. The author romanticizes this relationship in which Isaac gets taken advantage of and is emotionally abused and presents it like it's love. Disgusting.
