Fuck! It totally gave me book hangover! I've played before the first draft it was completed and now I've played all what it's published and I cried like a bitch!
I love the writing, how you can feel all the storm that is Zack head! I relate to him so much! And Brendan too, he's experience remind I bit of myself, whom is self labeled as demiromantic. Maybe you didn't intend for that but, that's what I'm reading as.
The scenes! Fuck the pool scene! It was so beautiful! And the end fuuuuuuuuck. Have you ever watch the 3 season of skam specifically? This gave the same feelings when I first watched.
Brilliant!
