New tag: ‘lice of life’ for the atrocities God can put u thru. Truly I really resonate with Cole, all my bpd individuals Godspeed to u. Life somehow never working ur way, trying to be as civilised as possible with ur lover despite having the Urge For Murder only to have that backfire on you, going back and forth between the feelings of love and hate towards your partner, the author did a really good job writing Cole’s character. I especially like the take away he had at the end, realising that everyone no matter how perfect and normal they looked on the outside also struggled in their own weird sad ways, and in turn he could be more gentle more patient and forgiving with himself, take life one moment at a time. I really love Cole. Also I love horny sexo pilled people they keep it real. Anyway, if anything, Alex still kind of remained mysterious to me. Maybe all that really is to it is that his attraction and love for Cole just can’t be explained and that’s enough as long as they both want to make it work as healthy as they can manage, I kind of wished we got to see more of his backstory maybe his childhood. I’ve seen other comments saying they thought the plot was everywhere and messy, maybe messy yes but I don’t think that inherently makes the writing bad. Kind of felt like the essence of this story, the messy nature of life. I think ending it off here wouldn’t be bad at all, but I really do find myself wanting more! I think one of my new favourite works, and a new favourite writer and illustrator!

I have never, in my life, seen a story somehow shit the bed the way this story did. I had an issue with all three volumes and somehow each volume just got progressively worse. It went from mid, to bad, to terrible. Genuinely would not recommend this stupid fucking story to quite literally anyone, there's nothing salvageable about it. There's stuff I liked that ultimately meant nothing since it was overshadowed by the towering pile of shit that this story otherwise is.

The first volume was alright; it had a few things I liked, mainly being the dynamic between Cole & Alex and how it was just an unapologetically toxic relationship, but it still did have a few issues that nagged at me. I think the biggest issue it had was that it was simply overstuffed. There are two main conflicts in the first volume—the first is that Cole ends up blurting out that if he's not enough for Alex, Alex is allowed to go out and have sex with other women, since Cole is the first man Alex had dated and Cole's a bit insecure about it. It only lasts a chapter or two but it's still super annoying. The fact that Cole somehow wasn't able to see why that had upset Alex is mindboggling to me. That goes beyond emotional ignorance, he's just retarded. The second source of conflict comes from a woman named Lily. She meets Cole and Alex on the beach, and she very directly tells Cole that she's going to try to sleep with Alex, regardless of the fact that he's a taken man. There is a plot twist where you find out she was actually after Cole, which I thought was funny enough, but in general, I just hate the trope of a woman coming in and trying to destroy the relationship—especially since the volumes are only six chapters.

The second volume broke this story for me; after Alex goes away for a month due to a business trip, getting the chance to be the character model for a video game, Cole gets lonely . . . And cheats. He ends up fucking one of Alex's friends, Brad. The entire volume is just about that; it's about him getting lonely, cheating, and then having to deal with the intense, paranoia-like guilt afterward. And I fucking hated it. It quite literally instantly ruined this story for me. Cheating is the only hard line I draw. I'm also struggling to decide whether I think it's OOC or not, as I feel like Cole is the type of character who gets very . . . Attached. I don't think him missing someone he's dating would cause him to go out and fuck someone else, even with his admittedly insanely self-destructive behaviors. Another thing is that Brad ends up pointing out to Cole that he doesn't even like being around Alex . . . That he has no trust in him, isn't relaxed in his company, and doesn't really feel like he can be himself around him . . . And it's just never addressed. That left a really bitter taste in my mouth regarding their relationship and it never washed away. This whole volume felt like it was dedicated to just desecrating their relationship. I have no idea how anyone can finish volume two and still like them together, genuinely.

Volume three just further cemented my frustration with these characters; Three years later, Alex ends up being asked—by a close friend—to be a sperm donor, and the conflict of this volume is Cole trying to grapple with it. He doesn't want Alex to go through with it, he isn't comfortable with Alex having a child that not just isn't theirs, but would be an active part of their life, no matter how small that part may be. It's not like he's just donating his sperm to a random person. And Alex just refuses to see where Cole is coming from and actually just fully demonizes him for his discomfort. Even when Alex asked Cole if he'd be okay with it, it was much less of a genuine question and more of a statement dressed as a question. It was a prerequisite just to make sure Cole knew. He outright says he doesn't actually need Cole's permission and he's going to do it regardless. So they break up, and for six months don't see each other even once. This whole volume is so insanely frustrating to me because Cole is treated so insanely shitty by Alex, he's understandably uncomfortable with Alex donating and yet Alex refuses to see his point of view and I just fucking hated it. The final chapter does have Alex admitting he was being unfair, but it's too little too late. The damage was done. As a reader, this relationship was cracked beyond repair. What little I liked had been washed away by the wave of everything I hated.

For what it's worth, I did like the dynamic between Cole and Alex during the first volume. The second volume quickly derailed it and made Cole—who could have possibly been one of my favorite characters of all time otherwise—an unlovable desperate whore, but the first volume, judged as standing on its own, is quite nice. Cole is very . . . Intense. He has a penchant for guns, having threatened to kill Alex once due to the intensity of his feelings. He's a character that doesn't have a broad appeal, but initially, is at least very appealing to me. He's also quite vindictive and bitter, his internal monologue is very spiteful to the people around him, and he constantly threatens to kill himself & others. It's quite attractive. Speaking of attractive, he's a cutter! It's mainly in the past but we do see a scene where he ends up cutting again due to the whole sperm donor thing and it made me so erect I almost passed out.

I like the story and the plot twist early on. I didn’t like the late plot twist. I didn’t like how he got back with Alex because like I feel like they’re too toxic because of all the back-and-forth that they were doing and I really wanted him with Brad. Dark paradise by Lana Del Rey being his favorite song was a lot of foreshadowing and usually BL don’t foreshadow like that, but it really did a pretty good job on that. With Brad being truthful telling him that he needs to really just tell the truth that was amazing. I really did want him with Brad but I didn’t like how every time they met he they have sex it was it was just a lot .

This is so fucked up, in such an American way too. Like it seriously met all the American tropes, the goth gay, the jock top, the kpop best friend. The idiocy was truly American too. Like I hate it but at the same time I completely and unfortunately understand it. Pulling a gun to kill the top, yeah, having a gun in the first place. The self harm, yeah, the goth middle school phase, yes. Also I don’t know if anyone else notice but the lead kept getting skinnier and skinnier at random times. And the boyfriend didn’t care.

absolutely nuts bottom, pulls a gun out at one point, him listening to lana del rey makes so much sense. top is also fucked up, has to be if he sticks with this guy, just a fucked up couple. Love it <3

This shit was deranged asf but there was something so real about it. Loved how to characters weren’t perfect. The couple was toxic but it was a fun read.
