zeeezy 's review for:

Love in the Big City by Sang Young Park
4.5
challenging dark mysterious reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Worth a re-read. Started strong but began to drag towards the end (could just be me). Stunned to find a mention of a Malay Singaporean gay man as that is very rare representation. The ending was poignant but sad. Overall a good insight into the triumphs and challenges of queer men living the big city life, as the title goes.
