Spoiler
you learn on the back that essentially almost all of the characters are gonna die of AIDS so their deaths did not really come as that much of a surprise to me. Plus you didn’t really get that much depth on a lot of the characters that passed away, so i didn't feel really attached to them as i did with A Little Life. the only death that made me emotional was Yale’s because he’s really the only character you get a whole lot of depth on (granted it is from his perspective), and Fionas story was a little sad considering she had hardly anyone left; but despite that this book does not compare in my opinion.Moderate: Medical content, Hate crime, Homophobia, Death, and Grief
Minor: Infidelity
