I don't know if it's intentional or not, but the narrative voice of each POV was a bit too similar, and combined with all of them being in 1st person, I'm not sure if I liked that or not.
That said, I did enjoy reading this book. My favorite overall was Bobby's story. Moud's was fine (although the secondhand embarrassment I got from his boyfriend Shane was absolutely brutal). And Saeed is dead last only because he's the token heterosexual lol (granted, the story wouldn't have worked if he wasn't, but still).
