I will say, I didn't love all the stylistic choices the editors made - I wish there had been clearer markers of the passing time, and the footnotes were a little sparse.

-Death of siblings -Graphic descriptions of Sullivan's decline due to HIV/AIDS -Car accident is actually a motorcycle accident -Does it count as deadnaming if he is literally referring to himself? I don't really think so, but you decide for yourself.brnineworms's review

We Both Laughed In Pleasure is an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish. Tragedy is punctuated with humour, and vice versa. There’s a lot of sex. A lot of death. And it has a great deal of value as a piece of queer history. An important read.
