User Reviews For: Self Portrait

2.5 stars. It was okay. It felt like there was drama, but no emotion to connect to, and no reason for some actions. This was definitely a rent, not a buy for me. *** Mild Spoilers*** He acts like a homophobe, and is mean to his brother's boyfriend, but the only reason is because his female childhood friend that he has a crush on is a fujoshi and keeps trying to turn him gay, which he expresses mild frustration over. Once he ends up realizing he likes a guy, he gets over it real fast. Again, the emotions expressed don't match the language or actions. The only character I felt a connection to was Ayumi(?), his other friend who has a crush on him, but also has to listen to his homophobia. The second book in the series is his story, so I'll probably read it.
