Status Updates From The Queer and the Restless

Figured I should balance out all the ridiculous stuff I read with books that are about normal people… unfortunately the content (boring job and failure to seize obvious dating opportunities) is more triggering than expected 🫠🫠🫠

"And I'm fucking afraid to try, Cam. If I don't try, then I don't have to live with the idea that I fail at happiness." Goddamn. That's the fucking mood. Shit.

"Yeah. Been there, done that, and have the self-loathing to prove it." Mood.

I love that the dude bros are now talking sense into Ed about all this.
Omfg, no, I take it back, I don't like this! Bc now they're calling *me* out too! Bc I lowkey agree with Ed's underlying mindset even though objectively, I know Alisha has a point.

Ed...*Honey*...my good dude! I know you're upset! But! Your boss!
God, bless Joe. Thank you for saving my guy before he got his ass in more trouble than he could get himself out of.

"My face must've done a thing." Mine would've too tbh

God, I'm so happy for you, Ed.
Even though I'm really, really fucking sad for me.

"Your chest isn't what makes you a man, right?"
"No."
"Trust me to know that, okay?"
This is a really nice interaction, I feel like.

"Quite a speech to deliver to the coffee machine." Djjfjdkd amazing
Oh lord, what a confusing situation. My sympathies, Ed. You're doing amazing, sweetheart.
David is Trying, the poor thing.
Yay, it's mostly working!

“Quick-paced punk rock with lyrics I couldn’t always make out, sung mostly by young angsty white men agonizing over their privilege.”

😂 Too real.

OH MY GOD. That was the MOST HILARIOUS SEX SCENE I have ever read that was still also HOT and I hope these two stay together FOREVER.

I'll probably be done with this book soon. Fascinating characters and the mystery is v. cool too. :)
