One of the most profound, information, and beautifully heartbreaking books I’ve ever read.
This was an exploration of the struggle of the AIDS epidemic, but it was so much more. The writing is so descriptive and detailed. The conjoining point of views created unbelievable storytelling. And while this was a work of fiction, I learned so much. The setting, Chicago, is so beautifully describes and does not miss the aesthetic of the city.
Fiona, Yale, and all of the characters in between will be with me forever.
