A review by mwohlbrandt
High-Risk Homosexual by Edgar Gomez

5.0

A really great memoir and book in general. It covers Gomez's life growing up and finding his way in the world as a gay, Latinx person and while we all might have read similar stories before, the author's voice and way of telling his story was quite charming and didn't feel like 'the same old, same old' experience. It's about as humorous as it can be without calling this book a comedic memoir, a bit sad, a bit bittersweet, a bit angry, a lot hopeful. The kind of memoir that makes me feel like we're friends, like I hope the author only has happy things come to him in life, not because I feel bad for him but because he deserves it and we all do, it's that kind of memoir. I really hope to see more from Gomez in the future.
