Circles/YMMV

• Fan Yay (No duh.)
• Glurge: Depends on the reader's own life situation.
  • If received positively, Circles may be an optimistically inspirational example that resonates with the issues faced by young adult gay men.
  • If it falls flat, it may be because:
    • It represents a scenario that seems excessively idealistic and saccharine compared to Real Life, if being gay in real life is in fact still more difficult than it is in the story.
    • Or it depicts a higher level anxiety than you could imagine having to deal with in this decade compared to the Turn of the Millennium, if being gay in real life is in fact easier today.
