This was definitely a page turner, and the author knew how to keep me interested and coming back to the book whenever I had free time.

Oliver was sympathetic and I enjoyed his growth throughout the book, particularly his thoughts on learning to free himself from a trap.

It will take some thought, but it was very interesting who Oliver chose to trust and who to conceal from. Especially from the perspective of how that intersects with the history of queerphobia and Oliver's personal history.

Weaknesses here were that it relied a bit too much on coincidence and I thought Nathan's character development was somewhat unearned.
