Loved the movie and wanted to read the book for the queer representation. It's a much more complicated and nuanced story than the movie portrays. Goes a lot more into the lives of other characters and the differences they face due to race and status. Definitely hard to read some parts that were racist and outdated and just sometimes had me going, huh? But a fascinating read that I cant wait to discuss with my book club.
