"I tell Thomas that he’s mistaken, that it’s a love story above all, about the passion that one young man can have for another. I talk about the purity of that kind of crazy love. He tells me that he will never see the film."
Moderate: Homophobia and Suicide

Ho letto questo libro tutto d'un fiato, lasciandomi trascinare dalla storia. E' stato sicuramente un colpo al cuore, mi ha fatto versare molte lacrime, ma è un libro che consiglierei a tutti, specialmente ai membri della comunità queer. Faccio davvero fatica a trovare le parole per descriverlo.
I miei pensieri vanno a tutte quelle persone che, nonostante non siamo più negli anni '80, continuano a provare sentimenti simili a quelli di Philipphe e Thomas, a tutte quelle persone che per via di una società deviata continuano a reprimere le loro emozioni, i loro sentimenti, le loro identità, nella speranza che prima o poi tutto questo finisca davvero.

It was difficult to begin and to keep reading, because of the writing style, but eventually I found myself hooked with the story. There's so much intimacy in this book, to the point where it almost feels like I, the reader, am intruding. Every intimate moment is a push-and-pull, and then it ends with a knife twisting in your gut. This was brilliant and heartbreaking, and I'm glad I read it.
