This is a case of the epilogue doin too much and ruining the story. I really liked this up until that point. 

Themes of love, bigotry, homophobia, relationships. 

MC has a difficult time accepting himself and who he is. Strains in relationships permeate this book. Most problems could be settled with open, honest, communication. 

I could live forever and be ok with never hearing about “leaking” body parts again.
