Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt

1.5

What was the goal here, is my question. What was achieved, what was intended, what was the plan. Because if it was to talk about the AIDS crisis, it could have been done without making the main teen character have incestuous feelings for her uncle, if it was to explore grief, it could have been done without making a grown man have a clandestine friendship with said teen character, and if it was to discuss her inappropriate love for her uncle, it could have done so without equating homosexuality with incest. It was altogether uncomfortable and I didn't appreciate how the important topics were handled.
