For such a short book, I took my time reading it. I can't even count the number of tabs and annotations I made. This book was impactful in so many ways. I found a piece of myself in the characters, in the situations they faced, in the narrator's past, and in their own personal struggles. I found that missing piece that I have been looking for all this time.

There were moments have tears, joy, inspiration, hope, and love. There were moments of sadness, despair, and loneliness. That fear of death and the fear of life. It was all here in a tiny book that I believe the world needs to read, that schools need to adopt into their curriculum. Maybe then, there would be less hatred and more understanding.

i like that it's narrated by the generation of gay men lost to AIDS but that's about it, I didn't like any of the characters really.
