Second Avenue Caper: When Goodfellas, Divas, and Dealers Plotted Against the Plague by Joyce Brabner

challenging informative sad medium-paced

2.0

This was educational regarding what gay men in the US went through during the early years of the AIDS epidemic. It jumped around a lot, cutting to scenes of the creation of the book and shrine images of people in the friend group who died, which made the overall narrative confusing. I also didn't understand some references or context, some description of which would have been nice (instead there were notes further explaining well-known things like PTSD).

Rating: Mixed

(I use the BookMarks by LitHub rating scale—Rave, Positive, Mixed, Pan—which express my opinion about a book better than a star rating can)
