My parents told me I had to wait for 2 or 3 years until I was allowed to read it. I kept it next to my bed all those years until I was finally old enough to read it, so by that point my expectations were set extremely high. The amazing part is, THEY WERE MET. This book takes you on an emotional rollercoaster and I highly recommend to anybody because it really puts you in the shoes of someone who is living in that time frame when AIDS first became well known. A wonderful story. I give it a 8/10 but only because I don't really like the ending, but everything in between was wonderful. 🥰"

poecilotheria shared a tip "very touching novel about being gay, loving those who are gay, and watching history as it happens. a little oddly-paced and clumsy at times, but really speaks to its reader and pulls them in to tell the story it needs to tell"

obsessedwithstories shared a tip "This book is so inspirational! I got so attached to the characters, and it's so Ohmygosh! It such a good read for those struggling with genders, love, and family related issues. Plus if you are looking for a little history, this book has that too!"

maggie_robinson shared a tip "This book is on my good reads shelf for a summer read challenge. I found it while browsing other teammates shelves and it’s catching traction in a few readers groups that stick to contemporary fiction."
