So far it’s ticking off a whole checklist of hardcore gay erotica tropes (non-con, D/s, public sex, sharing, etc.), and somehow still manages to make all of it feel completely unsexy.

!!!

So far this feels like the best one in the series. We finally get some challenges that are rooted in real socio-political tension instead of yet another tangle of personal grudges.

Didn’t expect this to have more big words than your average lit-fic.

Loved that chapter.

“To be a gay man is to be, to some extent, defined by one’s own desire, whereas to be a heterosexual woman is, still, so often to be defined by someone else’s. Asserting one’s own sexual appetite, in such a context, is seen as an act that is both unbecoming of a woman and an act of un-becoming a woman.” (So if a man’s desire is defined by someone else’s, he un-becomes a man.)

There’s something morbidly gratifying about watching every heteronormative romance fall apart, no matter whether it’s black–white or white–white.

?? are these men all bisexual

Oh my, all the male characters in this book treat the women they claim to love horribly.

People are complaining about the lack of plot in their reviews, but I can live with that as long as Brady gets to fuck Cameron. (Please let that not be the reason I dropped this series last time.)

The way good-looking boys always get preyed on by older men in Baldwin’s books just feels so slash fiction. (I know it’s supposed to tie into racism and power dynamics, but still…)

作者是展示自己的词汇量来的

Okay that was quite graphic but less abusive than I expected.

捡起这本，目前感觉会是好看的（又是因为知道会有性侵儿童情节一直被我搁置的一本 😥

I liked the AIDS crisis arc far more than the art arc and the mother/daughter relationship arc.

Drama drama drama, 以为是自己玷污了纯情深柜摩门男孩，结果又成了别人 play 的一环……

Paranoid you'd cheat, I cheated on you first… Gotta love the messed-up relationship drama; sadly, they might be out of time for a second chance.

oh my! that doomed feeling…
