Perfect solution to thorny problem: achievement unlocked.
Yep, someone expecting an MM romance wouldn't enjoy this much. Still no itchy-scratchy? This far in?! But this is an historical novel with two men falling in love in 1919 Paris, not a Romance.

I have reached the moment when I want to THROTTLE the silly stubborn ass. And smack the careless idiot. And resuscitate the dreadful drug-addled one so I can garotte him again.

I would cheerfully *garotte* this disingenuous, drug-addled, dreadful bit of stuff. All that wonderful literary edging and sploosh here comes the ice water.

I've read other reviews of this book, out in two more weeks, that are not drawn in by the epistolary structure and the stately pace of the narrative. I'm hooked, I'm surprised that the story's lack of propulsive action hasn't left me more blasé. I like this story more than I need action? Dunno yet.
