Where We Go from Here
by Lucas Rocha
An informative and heartfelt look at the lives of 3 young men in Brazil living with or supporting the people they love who have HIV. I felt that primarily this book was focussed on removing the stigmas and prejudices surrounding HIV, particularly in terms of what HIV positive relationships can look like nowadays thanks to existing medications.
I thought the range of characters we were introduced to were very sweet and clearly displayed to the reader a variety of thoughts and feelings about a HIV positive diagnosis. On the other hand, I struggled to remember which of the guys was which - and what their relationships were with each other. And the plot didn't really go anywhere? I looked up at the halfway mark to discover that really we were still just talking about how we all knew each other.
Not going to be a top book of the year by any means, but also an insightful look into a topic I don't know so much about.
