"“Everything inside me is in ruins,” Thomas said. “For you.”
MOST ROMANTIC FUCKING LINE THAT IVE READ IN A WHILE OUGH OUGH OUGH WHAT IF I REDACTED
they're sooo codependent and toxic but that's exactly my kind of ship

I forgive the prose being melodramatic and sometimes purple prose, bc C.G. Drews writes unhealthy, codependent, toxic, possessive, obsessive gay best friendships soo well. its hitting all the right spots for me. the horror parts are so creepy too. im so hooked

is2g C.G. Drews GETS codependent toxic obsessive possessive gay best friendships. they write them sooo well. it hits all the right spots. im gonna have to read their other books too. chewing glass.

feeling very represented by this codependent obsessive toxic homoerotic best friendship

"...charcoal smudged near his mouth. It was painful how Andrew noticed Thomas’s mouth like that."

SEE? WHAT DID I TELL YOU? YES, YOU DO WANT TO KISS HIM😭😭😭

I swear this book was written for queer ppl who had a codependent obsessive homoerotic best friend situationship

"so maybe the only reason he didn’t want Thomas to kiss Dove was so their trio wouldn’t change—not because he wanted to kiss Thomas. Or maybe he … did?"

[takes Andrew by the shoulders] yes you do want to kiss him dont tell yourself that it's just platonic😭 he may be demisexual or aspec but there's no way hes not gay for his best friend aksjshdj

I will never not be a sucker for a codependent homoerotic toxic best friendship 😌
