All the Right Notes by Dominic Lim

I wanted to love this so badly that I looked past "nonconsensual sex" in the content warnings. Which is not a thing, by the way. Until the plot point came up. The tension between Quito and Emmett is set up to be based on a big misunderstanding of sorts that occurred when they were in college. I'm not going to mark this as a spoiler because I honestly haven't seen a review mention this. Quito penetrates Emmett when he thinks he's asleep. Oh, but, turns out that Emmett was ACTUALLY taking advantage of how intoxicated Quito was. Y'all, this is simply not it. I was so disappointed that this topic was handled so poorly, and then we're supposed to root for this couple! The event causing them not to speak to each other referred to for the first 213 pages could have been literally anything else.

The only relationship I could root for was between Quito and his father. His father is the most dimensional character, in my opinion.
