DNF 60%
This, I think, is a "it's not you, it's me" kind of DNF. I didn't enjoy reading it but others probably will.

Ultimately, it's about two boys discovering their sexuality and finding comfort in each other.

This is marketed as a YA but it's clearly for the older side of YA. The main characters are 17-18.
There are a lot of swear words, including some very homophobic insults, as well as explicit sexual content.
And the mix of the hypermasculine hypersexual content isn't what I enjoy reading (why why why didn't I DNF this earlier?)

In some ways, this book gave Aristotle and Dante vibes: two lonely boys in a very masculine world become friends and realise they care for each other in a very deep way. It takes place over a span of more than a year. It's a lot of introspection and reading their thoughts. One of them finding out they might not be as straight as they thought. Feeling like themselves only in the presence of the other one. 

But we're not getting a lot of the interactions. We're getting their introspection, their memory of something they once said to one another. There is A LOT of internal monologue, thoughts, how they feel about things that happened, but we don't get to experience the actual things that happened. 
The interactions we get are some young masculine boys dumb shit or sex ...
