Such a frustrating main character but the way the story plays out is so fascinating. The ending really puts it all i to perspective.

The main character is not likable but you also can't look away.  I found the final chapter surprising, and satisfying, and it left me with questions.

I didn’t hate this book, I also didn’t adore it. It felt intimate and honest and realistic in a way that I can’t confirm because I am a very different type of gay. The book did make me think and was interesting to chew on, however everyone sucking so hard in a privileged obnoxious way made getting through it at times very difficult to swallow. If you’re a fan of the unraveling of the suburban prison of a white upper middle class woman’s mind (with a fun dyke twist) than go for it. It has its funny moments and is excellently written, I just found parts hard to get through personally.
