The line between what he wanted to do and what he should do was so fragile that any small thing could tip the scale and decide it for him.

Attention everyone watching Half Man!!!

If you like devastating stories about being gay in 90s Glasgow, you cannot go wrong with anything by Douglas Stuart. I promise you it will be the best decision you ever make (his 2 others are Shuggie Bain and John of John which is coming out this month!)

Speaking as a queer Scot, if you’re into Half Man and would like more queer Scottish representation pleeease read Douglas Stuart’s books! He’s got two books out currently (Shuggie Bain & Young Mungo) and a new one (John of John) coming out this month!

you know, all the reviews that i read beforehand of young mungo by douglas stuart said that it was an intense read but i'm a bit over halfway through and it's turned into the sort of novel where i am genuinely afraid the main character isn't going to make it out alive. the fishing trip his mom sent him on has a body count. practically every adult in the book is the worst person you've ever met. i am so stressed about this fictional 15 year old from glasgow please send help.
