Crying lol. Rough time emotionally in real life and the final scene between them is so so sad and devastating to me David really is an awful person and Giovanni's monologues and backstory has broken my heart. So my real life emotions have built up and this book has released the dam. The writing is too good I can't take it Giovanni's monologuing had me spellbound.

The misogyny coming out in random parts shocked me lmao I should know better. I guess I don't expect it in a book about a gay relationship? The writing is so so good it seems relatable even though I share nothing in common with David and it's just so artful. Was genuinely a bit disturbed/upset at how he treated Sue but it's very revealing of his character.
