This was a very intense, tough read - there was a lot of homophobia, and seeing people be <i> happy </i> about gay people losing their rights was definitely not easy for me. But it was still a beautiful book! I kinda liked the format; it's an epistolary novel, so it's told completely in letters and also diary entries. What I appreciated was that the two main characters, Tammy and Sharon, put their thoughts down differently - Tammy wrote letters to Harvey Milk, Sharon wrote in her diaries -, which helped me to always be aware of who was talking. The only thing I wasn't that big a fan of was the romance. While it was sweet, it also came a little bit out of nowhere.
