"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."

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.
