Borrowed Time: An AIDS Memoir by Paul Monette
2.0
It somehow feels bad rating a book with 2 stars, which is memoir of a person who‘s lost their partner in a fight against AIDS.
But I just couldn‘t finish it - in my opinion this book contains way too many unnecessary details about characters that add no value to the story at all.
If the same story was written in half the length, I probably would‘ve finished it as the theme itself speaks to me. But if you, like me, ask yourself after the first chapter if something is actually going to happen soon or whether you‘ll be able to connect emotionally with the author - do yourself a favour and just pick another book
