Not super deep into the story yet but I just want to say that the experience of being a closeted gay person was written very well in this story. As a closeted queer person myself, reading about the main character’s feelings and experiences of being in the closet hit close to home. “Why can’t you be normal?” That scene tore me apart because I had a sibling who asked me the same exact thing when I was dating someone of the same gender, I trusted them enough to tell them about who I was dating because they were openly supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. Yet I was met with the same judgement that I was always so afraid of as a closeted queer person. “There are some things that you can’t say because you are family” that part is true as well. I can never tell the rest of my family who and what I am because I know that I will never be accepted, and that the love and affection that they have for me now will all be gone once they know who I truly am. I didn’t expect to go in full detail of my life in a mangago review of all things, but perhaps the anonymity of this site and how much the main character’s story resonated with me activated my yap button lmao.
