So powerful. I learned so much in these 273 pages, more than I have, I feel, in my lifetime. Rasheed Newson tells a beautiful fictional story about a Black gay boy named Trey, surrounded by historical happenings and unforgettable resisters. I’m honestly speechless by how much this book made me feel- scared, devastated, hopeless and hopeful, excited, and safe. This book, our history is not for the faint of heart. Rasheed Newson, through Trey, as well as Angie and Simon and Rustin and the countless other brothers and sisters who we exist on the shoulders of, illustrates the ACT up movement fraught with sacrifices and loss and resilience, in such a beautiful manner. This is truly a must read. Definitely in my top 3 of 2022 thus far.
