Thank you NetGalley and Balzer + Bray for the eARC of this!
This was such a beautiful, impactful story. It's a story of three generations of Iranian men and their journey for themselves, each other, their identities, and their countries. Abdi Nazemian does a wonderful job having each of the three shine in their own story, but still bringing it back to each other. He also does a wonderful job showing the very different queer experiences throughout the decades, but still tying it back to the importance of the loved ones and community around us. I think this is likely a new favorite of mine and I'm so, so glad I stumbled upon it!
