I think that this book was a great way to showcase how hard it was to be gay in the 1950s. I do think that this book sheds light on an important subject and I loved reading about a place that I’ve actually been to (Brighton, England) and it brought back memories of my own. It was a sad read, and there wasn’t much of a plot other than a love triangle. I thought it would be better.
