i finished this book in less than a day - i seriously couldn’t put it down as soon as i picked it up. i think also being a grad student in iowa city myself made me feel like i was peering through the windows of neighbors and friends and strangers. it was oddly familiar and yet totally new and fresh at the same time. and to read about a group of queer people from a range of  backgrounds and upbringings and cultures reminded me of the beauty that is life when it is queer.
