I think initially from the blurb I was expecting this book to be more about Sean & Anthony relationship although that is one of the main themes I wasn’t expecting the story from Sean’s point of view/life as much.
I enjoyed it but wasn’t enchanted by it. I felt like i was waiting for it to get going? For something to happen? I do get the theme was the character development and I did enjoy that but there were parts I was waiting for it to be explored more.
I liked the ended when he hugged his brother and the themes on masculinity etc It just didn’t live up to the reviews I’d read about it.
