3.5 Stars. The writing wasn’t spectacular but the story and characters were interesting enough that it was easy to spend hours reading this book. I struggled with the undercurrent of biphobia throughout the novel, the willingness to only partially break out of restrictive understandings of Black same-gender loving men’s experiences, and
Spoilerthe fact the straight main characters were allowed to find certain love at the end but the SGL main characters were left with more open, uncertain situations
. All in all, it was the kind of light, easy read I was looking for when I chose it but I wouldn’t recommend it.

The biphobia was insane!!! I hate this for men. Loving Riley and Selwyn coming back together, but damn that sounds like a nightmare. The only really really touching part for me was Dwight talking about Scooter. Dwight would deserve better but he's homophobic so sucks to suck.

I really enjoyed this book. The only problem I had with this book is that it had so many characters and it the beginning it made it hard to keep up, but other than that this was really a great book. I loved the plot and the characters, once I got used to them.
