A couple spoilers ahead. I liked the characters but I've got a few issues with unhealthy codependency. If you end up in the hospital for dehydration and starvation because your not-boyfriend ends things with you, then you've got bigger problems. I don't think Egon was weak or pathetic or whatever he called himself, but he still should have gotten professional help. Instead they went back to their relationship where Rake takes care of everything. In itself that isn't a problem but I believe Egon should be able to be a functional human being on his own. Otherwise the book was alright and I enjoyed reading it.
