Heartbreaking and hopeful.

This has to be my favorite book of the year, it's so raw, and sad but full of hope and love. I remember that time when AIDS was synonym of death and the fear it caused, this book portrays that fear so well, with so much emotion and sadness but so much courage. The characters were full of love and courage, along with the sadness and fear and death.

This 90s kid didn't know that CDs were a thing in the 80s.

The fact that I skimmed the last 75% of this should say enough.

- too many 80s references. yes, this book is set in the late 80s, but that's overdoing it, i'm sorry.
- the writing was atrocious
- reza and art are not in love, they're just horny and gross

maybe will have more later if i find reviews that echo my thoughts, because oh my god, how does this book have over a 4 star average rating.
