A needed memoir in a space heavily dominated by white voices. I enjoyed that it was read by the author and was an important look into one black , queer experience.

5.0

The heaviest, rawest memoir I’ve ever read — and I think the most important. The audiobook was exquisitely done and moved me to tears. I am in awe of Brian Broome.
