Ohhhh I'm so torn with this read. I really really really wanted to love it. Following the first book I had really high hopes and expectations for this one and I felt let down. 

Sparrow/Sam was extremely naive, I understood everything that he went through but I feel as if the things we learned about him didn't match up to the amount of nativity and misunderstanding he had with a lot of things. He was extremely immature as well. How after meeting a man for one time only, while drunk off his ass, did he think this was the man for him. 

Louis, that man was 39?? He seemed so much more immature than Sam was. He had his own past that was traumatizing but being his age and the way he acted blew my mind. 

I love age gap, like LOVE!!!!! but I could not get over the constant reference to Sam as boy and kid. Their relationship felt very surface level and sex fueled. I didn't feel much depth with them.

The ending felt very rushed and Lilith can go jump off a cliff lol I did not like her one bit. Honestly a lot of these characters I didn't really care for. 

I would like more with Ravi and Maurice, they both intrigued me a little, maybe a little queer awakening with them.
