This book had been sitting in my to read section since around March and two days ago I finally decided to read it and I’m so glad I did! Murphy does an absolutely stunning job when narrating through different time frames and character perspective, each so unique and engaging. It’s been a while since I haven’t been able to put a book down. I particularly love the balanced story line of positives and negatives throughout which is what makes this book so good in my opinion. At some points I even found myself wondering if the characters had really existed. I believe everyone should read this book; it’s educational about the AIDS fight in the US & addiction, it’s raw and on top of everything it’s beautifully written.
