oh yeah for sure, im a straight man too. Not saying only gay people can enjoy it, but i think that some people have a hard time relating to patroclus and his story

I've heard that some people find it harder to relate to patroclus. I relate to him and his story in a lot of ways i've never seen in a book before

It's amazing, especially if you are LGBT.
I've heard that it can be uninteresting to people not involved in the community, but i absolutely loved it.

I totally get that. I think that was intentional though.
To me the book was less about an epic love story, and more about Patroclus not being able to see Achilles for how he really is (an arrogant asshole) because he's just SO consumed by his love. Patroclus idolized him to a deadly degree
Achilles decision to choose pride over happiness/love was repulsive. It made me sick to my stomach, more than any book has.
