diana_dea's review
I finally decided to dnf the book after the main character basically said that having sex with a child is okay if he's over 14. Yikes.
Thing is, I don't know how much of this might be a realistic portrayal of what life for a privileged gay man in that time and place would have been, which is why it took me so long to decide to stop reading it. I think there is some value in this book, but it's just not for me.
