Review: Get Up

This book is...really difficult to describe.
It's a slow-moving contemporary romance for most of the book, and then it sort of turns into a horror/thriller out of nowhere during the last 20% or so. I felt like the antagonist came completely out of the left field, and their motives were never explained.
I never quite bought the romance between Cam and Guy. Maybe it's because it started with really heavy instalove/instalust and...it was a bit difficult to see how their feelings progressed from there.
I liked the way Cam talked about his gender identity. Everything else about the book was sort of a miss for me. I felt like many of the sentences were long and quite wordy, which sometimes made it difficult for me to follow what was going on. The dialogue also felt...strange, too me. Like I often couldn't follow the logic as for why they were saying the things they did.
