Boyfriends of Dorothy - 2⭐️
.
I picked up this book with the hopes of finding a retelling. A few pages in, and I learned this book is nonfiction. This book is titled after a term the author and her friends created “friends of Dorothy” which in their mind meant to be gay. This book is a short story about the gay male friends in the author’s life and how they were treated by the straight men in her life

This book was around 35 pages. I originally didn’t know how to rate this, because it essentially means I’m rating someone’s life experience. Although this book was short I found many problematic details in it. But the thing that bothered me the most was her obsession with hell. The topic seemed to come out of nowhere constantly and it was never really explained. I guess is was an okay book, but the more I think about it, the more the book upsets me.
