Elliott appears to be living the dream as a successful TV writer with a doting boyfriend. But behind his Instagram filter of a life, he’s grappling with an intensifying alcohol addiction, he can’t seem to stop cheating on his boyfriend with various sex workers, and his cerebral palsy is making him feel like gay Shrek.
After falling down a rabbit hole of sex, drinking, and Hollywood backstabbing, Elliott decides to limp his way towards redemption. But facing your demons is easier said than done.
Candid, biting, and refreshingly real, Just by Looking at Him is an incisive commentary on gay life, a heart-centered, laugh-out-loud exploration of self, and a rare insight into life as a person with disabilities.

很讨厌的剧情，虽然是找寻自我接纳自己不完美的故事，但是我很心疼Gus。白白照顾残疾男友好多年，最后被出轨被放弃，算了也是解脱吧。 印象深刻的一点是主角嫉妒gus的健全，因为他身体健康且有条件保养维护照顾好自己的身体，但是不愿运动锻炼开车去尝试。我的确如gus一般没有好好地对待自己的身体。

属于那种看着书封买的小说。体感跟作者的网飞电视剧Special还是挺像的，尤其是前半段。还算是个有趣的小黄文，各种pop culture reference也很好笑，但就跟“正经小说”感觉关系不大，感觉像是推特体长文…
