At times heartbreaking, other times humorous. Flawed characters with traumas and secrets just trying to make each other comfortable. I thought Barry's misogyny was terribly grating but, maybe was another example of him being the product of his repression. As Morris does call it out (but at the end of the book).
Graphic: Alcoholism and Alcohol
Moderate: Homophobia
