hmm, complicated feelings with this one. i almost dnf'd it 12% in because the writing was ... not my favorite at all. it felt very telling-not-showing in a way i was hyper aware of. but i came back and read the summary again and realized what it was that interested me to begin with - the relationship building over text messages. i don't know why i'm just 100% a sucker for even the loosest form of epistolary. so i kept going. and it did get sweet, there was even a few parts i actually had a real heart squeeze over, but i don't know. i think the writing just really made me too aware of even the smallest issues i had with it. i'm really on the fence but i don't actually regret reading, so. idk. the more i'm thinking on it and writing this out the more i feel like i only remember the bad things ...
tws: f slur, homophobia, forced outing, mention of conversion camp
why don't i ever see tws in the top reviews for m/m books. y'all i'm tired.
