I surprisingly really liked this book. I thought it was just gonna be shock horror, but the gore isn't for shock, and I found the character's morals to be incredibly interesting, especially the people of WHIV and Tran. It didn't catch me at first but I really fell with it after a while. It is a very good representation of the AIDS crisis and genuinely made me cry sometimes. I loved it very much.
