Deep House: The Gayest Love Story Ever Told by Jeremy Atherton Lin

emotional informative reflective medium-paced

3.0

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and author for an early opportunity to read this book. I thought I was the target audience, as I love a good love story, and this one promised the author’s own personal love story, and of his struggles for a legal, gay marriage that would allow for immigration into the United States. Along the way, the author recounts with minute detail the historical struggle of the modern movement to legalize same sex marriage, both in the US and the UK. I love these aspects of the book, as I am very much into modern social and cultural history/movements, particularly those that impact historically marginalized communities. However, I was not a fan of the very descriptive and graphic sexual escapades, which seemed to occur frequently and often and in great detail. So, as the legendary Meat Loaf sang, “two out of three ain’t bad!”
