for like 2 months I recommended this book to everyone I know lmao. captures messy 22 year old queer life in a way utterly familiar to me while taking place ~a generation before I was that age. iykyk. very funny, hot, balanced with a lot of hardness and sweetness. one of those books that makes you go ”goddd I hate queer people” (lovingly! connection through exasperation!) as much as it makes you grateful to be queer. I hadn’t realized Paul is kind of a divisive main character - for what it’s worth, I loved him.
