This was the first book I have ever read that discussed HIV and I think it was great. I really enjoyed the character of Ian and his storyline I thought it was the most compelling. Since this book switches POVs every chapter I was surprisingly never confused and I thought each character had his own unique voice (although maybe that was due to the audiobook having different narrators). 

However, my issues with the book are like many of the other reviews, at some points the plot wasn't making sense and things happened way too fast towards the end. The epilogue
breaks the fourth wall for some reason (??).
And at some points the writing (especially in doctor appointment scenes) felt like I was reading a textbook. 

I would 100% recommend this to readers who want to learn more about HIV with an, especially diverse cast.
