An Exaltation of Larks

I'm DNFing this for now. I wouldn't call this a romance despite being marketed as such. I'm not sure which couple I'm supposed to be rooting for. Alex/Val, Val/Javi, or Javi/Alex? I don't even know because they all seem to have attractions to each other. There's not a whole lot of romance happening, just depressing things with some sex scenes thrown in. The writing is decent so I can see why this book has such good reviews but it's just not for me.
