They are young, so they do make mistakes and say stupid things but that just makes the development even better! Where We Go From Here does a great job of balancing the idea that there is still a lot of intolerance and prejudice surrounding HIV positive people with a more hopeful tone. The boys mostly all have excellent support systems, through their friends even if their family are not supportive. Despite the subject matter, it’s got humour and heart while not making light of the seriousness.
It’s not an ownvoices novel, but the author did lots of research and includes so many resources in the author note. I obviously can’t attest to the veracity (not being a gay man, HIV positive, or Brazilian), but I definitely loved it.

I learned a lot about the modern diagnosis and treatment process of HIV/AIDS as well as the Brazilian cultural significance of queerness and HIV/AIDS.
This was an audiobook read for me and I enjoyed all the narrators and it helped me differentiate the different povs which can otherwise be a challenge in audio form.
I recommend this to fans of queer YA coming-of-age novels like Ziggy Stardust and Me and This is Kind of an Awkward Love Story.
