5.0
one of my fave books ever. all the main characters are male & race is rly only specific for one character, but they’re all gay or bi which is why “its complicated” for a diverse cast
Moderate: Child abuse, Incest, Sexual assault, and Sexual violence
the first couple chapters do describe the main character’s sexual assault by his older brother. however its from the pov of a child, so its not explicit. but you can definitely tell thats whats happening. its only the first few chapters though
