I liked it less the second time I read it, probably because the moment of my life I was in then when I first bought it (obsessed with BL, having mood swings and the tendency to sadness, a like for twisted and dark stories). But as for now, whereas it's a good book that explores taboo topics such as sexuality and death, I still didn't feel great emotions from it.

It's a very interesting read, and perfectly describes the experiences of alot of people in the queer community, and found myself relating to the protagonist, despite our time and cultural differences. However, the ending was

quiet abrupt, and I didn't feel like it answer the questions that were the main focus of the storyline, which kind of makes sense, in context. But I would still have liked to see more about the experiences and thoughts of the main characters further from where they ended.
