Took my longer to read than I expected, but once i focused it was a beautiful read on the queer experience (although i think it really extends to the human experience). this book is a non-chronological exploration of the most important relationships in Young’s life, friends, parents, and romantic partners. Young’s flaws are fairly evident from the get go and in my opinion not much development happened; although more context is revealed that perhaps explains some of his character traits.
