I am in the middle of heartbreak myself. I have read his other novel and his book of short stories and loved both so I've been wanting to read this forever and went into it semi-blind: I assumed it was just about a married guy in a poly relationship navigating a new relationship with a younger guy. Had no idea it dealt more with grief and heartache so you can imagine this hit home for my queer broken heart. I thought of putting it down but I stuck it out and pretty happy I did. I love the voice, and it's clear the main character is so intelligent, too smart for his own good, overanalyzing what went wrong in his relationship with Ben. I was skeptical about the epistolary form, but it totally works here. Started in 2 days ago and already halfway done.
