what the hell i am crying so much this book is amazing easily on the same level as young mungo maybe even better?? he is a bit of a one trick pony cos this was like the same vibes as young mungo but I LOVE THE TRICK so it’s ok. this one i feel like his sexuality was minor and like had a really small role and it was more about his relationship with his mother whereas i feel like young mungo was the opposite
