I would recommend this book to everyone! It’s very engaging and has a very inviting writing style where you feel welcomed into the subject matter instead of being talked down to which reflects Ruth as a person well. I truly appreciate that even though Ruth, a straight woman, was the main storyteller, the gay men impacted by AIDS she cared for were almost always the centre of discussion. Several chapters are dedicated to stories of these wonderful men she cared for dearly and it felt like she truly understood that it was important to highlight their lives. This book will stick with me forever and will always leave me with so much to think about.
