This book was a punch in the heart.

This book gripped you with the prologue and didn't stop. You are devistated by the lives of both Eillis and Michael. The lonliness that Ellis feels now that he is alone in the world is mirrored beautifully by the lonliness that Michael the years leading up to his death as he dealt with not only seeing a partner die of AIDS, but also facing the reality of his own diagnosis.

The book left me wanting more in best way possible.
