    Summary

    An entity wears the face of whoever they desire most, and solitude gives it room to hunt. Bound together by fear, Naim and Ryan travel through coaches and cheap motels, trying to outrun a punishment shaped exactly like love. But as guilt, grief, and unspoken betrayal follow them, Naim begins to wonder whether Ryan stays because he loves him — or because the monster wearing Naim’s face has left him no other choice.

    -

    Yet Naim knows it’s watching, waiting to rip him open like spoiled fruit. He hears the flies buzzing and feels himself rotting into something sticky-sweet and dripping, splitting down the middle.

    Summary

    it’s edmund’s father who teaches him how to be a man.

    he teaches him how to ride a bike (and not to cry when he wobbles and bruises his knees on the cobbles); he teaches him how to fasten a tie (not to slouch when he sits, to say please and thank you, to be polite and quiet and convenient); he teaches him his multiplication tables (heads bent together over the scrubbed kitchen table, edmund’s pen tapping against his two loose front teeth), his words (sounding out the harder ones, black spiky characters on a white page that jumble themselves in front of his eyes), how to play cricket (“not bad, ed,” dad says, and edmund is overcome with boyish pride), how to fish (though, not often, because they’re in london and london isn’t exactly overflowing with lakes) –

    of course, he teaches peter all this first.
