Speeding through this on audiobook today. I don't know Brandon Taylor's life but as someone who knows a lot of artists and also lives in NYC I can't help but feel every second of what I presume was research put into this book. I feel terrible saying bc Ive loved Taylor's work in the past but I can just feel that this is something he had to work on to understand and something about it doesn't quite click for me...

liking enough to read and maybe finish. there are moments i think are really great and i love how brandon taylor writes developing relationships. a lot of this though comes across weird, kinda preachy. hes saying things i agree with but it feels a little basic?a little surface level? its reminding me a lot of martyr by kaveh akbar but i enjoyed that book more lol
