I understand why this book is so hyped within the book community. I know I am several years late to the party and admit right away that I'm not a fan of queer novels. The ironic thing is though it did have some good morals. This book is a raw and emotional journey of Jude St. Francis.
He is a private person. He has a history of self-injury and the seriousness of suicide attempts. He was in an abusive relationship with long-term reverberations and never discussed with anyone. But he had friends, foster parents who love him and adulthood that people dream about. The last chapter is the most moving chapter in the whole book. It makes this book so real. Many people aren't happy in life ruminating on the past, and tend to repeat these negative thoughts. Another reads to torture your mind.
