Four Squares by Bobby Finger
5.0
Read it ASAP. 5/5 stars.
I love being queer and books like this remind me of why. The history, the love, the mixed emotions -- all of it on display in this book. Strong writing and a great story. It wasn't necessarily plot-heavy, it was just a peek into Artie's life, past and present. Each character, no matter how minor, had a backstory, which I appreciated.
I read this while reading "And the Band Played On: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic" and it just made this book more impactful. Knowing the history behind the era Artie and his friends grew up in made this book better.
I hope this becomes a book that people talk about, not just in queer spaces.
