This book is gay romance drama life pain wrapped in a rainbow. I really relate to emmetts character and feeling about love being afraid to be hurt even still at 24. Queer ness has flexibility but also limitations. I enjoyed this book so much I want to cry. I got to finish it at work and I have so many thoughts and feelings. If I am ever to be in a relationship I'd say I want a little of of the cute non clout chasing highs and lows. To grow together one day if thats my destiny. (Review of arc version)
