Wow... what a stunning book. In just 148 pages the author perfectly communicates the intensity of young love, desire, imbalance of power, fear of being caught. The pain of love that has ended that stays with a person for their entire life. Beautiful writing and a sad tragic story that left me in tears.
Very important piece in today's world where homophobia still exists.
