The main character of this book is nearly unbearable and yet I had so much sympathy for him? A well-paced and unexpected novel which traces the complicated nature of queer relationships in late-80s, early-90s Beijing.
Moderate: Adult/minor relationship, Confinement, Cursing, Death, Emotional abuse, Hate crime, Homophobia, Toxic relationship, Violence, Xenophobia, Grief, Medical trauma, Car accident, Gaslighting, Abandonment, and Alcohol
