Content warnings: Some slurs and homophobia

Basic plot: A straight woman who suffers from alcoholism and mental health issues knowingly marries a gay man who was pressured into marriage by family to appear respectable. What follows is the complications of that.

Language learning: The vocab spread here is pretty big and a lot of things are left vague. Grammar wise I didn't notice anything too unusual.

Review: I enjoyed this book a lot - a complete rollercoaster of emotions from chapter to chapter as I really started to feel for each of the characters introduced. I think for such a short book the author really made each person come alive.

There isn't really a plot 'arc' and as such no really solid conclusion, but I felt it was satisfying nonetheless.
