I bought High Risk Homosexual as a birthday gift, but decided to pick it up myself after she expressed how much she enjoyed it. Gomez's writing is charming, approachable, funny, and consistently self-reflective. I enjoyed that Gomez didn't shy away from the messiness and general chaos of queer life, while also making space for joy, creativity, and hope. I listened to the audiobook version and was very happy that Gomez narrated his book himself (I don't know why this seem so rare)!

Excellent, genuinely the only thing I can think to critique is the cover art. I personally think that graphic designer should be put down

Beautifully written and goes to places regarding the Pulse shooting I didn’t expect. Very moving.

Really liked reading about the author’s experience with the queer scene and how they navigated the good and bad of it all. Also didn’t expect them to be so closely acquainted with the Pulse shooting and liked to hear their feelings and how they dealt with it all
