3.5

My actual rating is 3.25/3.5 ish but rounding up for the sake of giving this book a better chance at exposure. This originally Brazilian novel written in Portuguese was translated to English and I’m glad it was. This centers around three young Brazilian men who are impacted by HIV in some shape or form. This definitely is more of a book that is catered towards individuals who aren’t familiar with HIV / AIDS & kind of like an intro to the topic. I was already somewhat aware of HIV but this was a good look also into the Latin world’s view of STD’s, homosexuality, drag queens and acceptance vs intolerance. I think mature young adults would be able to handle this well & eye opening in more ways than one.
