The pacing of this - fantastic! The writing - pretty good!
But WOW was this frustrating to read at times! I love ambiguous endings, open endings, not having everything fully tied up, and still, I was so frustrated that by the end of this, I really did not know wtf John's deal was.

Content Warnings
Graphic: Homophobia, Misogyny, Racism, Grief, Death of parent, and Murder
Moderate: Violence, Xenophobia, Blood, and Car accident
Minor: Adult/minor relationship
Possibly the biggest content warning is for the lengthy, frustrating making of an incel / descent into fragile and toxic masculinity. Dear god, was it triggering.
