Where We Go from Here by Lucas Rocha
4.0
Where We Go From Here follows the story of three gay men and their experiences with HIV. We see from all three of their perspectives the multitude of ways HIV can affect people; Victor, who is HIV negative with many fears, Henrique, who is HIV positive and stable, and Ian, who has newly been diagnosed with HIV.
This story is a heartwarming delve into the everyday worlds of queer men. As a queer woman, this story felt welcoming, safe and accepting - potentially opening many readers eyes to the intricate and complicated lives queer people live on a daily basis, and the wonderful things associated with that. I particularly enjoyed the insight into drag culture which joyfully illustrated the whimsical and lively nature of the industry.
It is also very informative - for those, like myself, who didn't have much scientific knowledge of HIV prior to reading, it was very helpful, and aided my understanding in the novel as well as dispelling harmful stereotypes. This is an important book to read.
It also has gorgeous art in between each chapter, which was really beautiful. Overall, this story is beautiful and amusing, perfectly balancing entertainment with serious topics.
