hmmm so idk how to feel about this. i mean, part of me loves it a little cuz it’s gays in new york in the 90s but it’s also so painful, and part of me hates this cuz of what kain was like in the beginning. although i rlly am happy with his character development, i hated that mel got hurt so much. ik it’s obviously normal for characters to experience events cuz it helps them develop but i just felt so much pain for him it hurt. i won’t say this wasn’t a beautiful, bittersweet story, but it was very melancholic. i rlly like when mel met kains parents, their wedding, and when they adopted their daughter tho. overall, not a bad read but can be a very over the top with how the author treats mel. there are better reads but it was for its time (1995)
whenever i see scenes like the lecture hall one all i can think is isn’t tree security cameras watching them rn
