Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this ARC.

This book was an absolute delight! Something that I really love is when books are steeped in a particular place and this was certainly the case with this book! There were so many references to Detroit and I really felt like I was there with Dominick, Troy, and Remy! I thought the characters were excellent too, they felt like real people. They had flaws, strengths, and they had believable challenges. I thought the arcs for each of the characters were intriguing and that the story pacing was well done! The humor in this book was top tier- especially in the characters’ internal monologues.

I highly recommend this and I can’t wait for the book to come out!

You know that feeling when you accidentally stumble upon an absolute gem of a book and you can't put it down? Yeah.

Went into this with zero expectations and (basically) zero knowledge of what the plot was about and I basically fell head over heels in love with it. I loved all three protagonists and was swept away by the writing style. It was somewhere between witty and poetic and it was almost as though a friend was telling me a story out loud. I loved the commentary on race, identity, class and gentrification and I hope that Aaron Foley get's the love and appreciation he deserves when the book is published!

I am so looking forward to the physical copy of this book! I just love the cover. I love the humour. I love the writing. I adore the way the characters are as they are.

Thank you Belt Publishing for the advance reading copy.

This is just the book I knew I would need when I need to read a queer fun story which would make me laugh and smirk at the same time.

It's just not the women who are looked upon with judgemental eyes when we hit a certain age. It's more so for queer men as is experienced by our main character here. Their voice speaks of the many experiences they go through amidst various circumstances where they feel things they feel they should and shouldn't; like they act like they should and shouldn't and think like they should and shouldn't.

You will know what I am talking about when you read this book.

While it may be true or written in relation to the story or the characters involved, the parts which repetitively mention "white gay men/boys" have it easy or something in the same vein are somehow not appropriate or necessary enough to make such comparisons. Give me a better plot or character stories or events or anything in the plot that would absolutely need such statements or comparisons.

The story ends well. Such a good read over-all.
