Hard: A Novel by Wayne Hoffman

4.0

Not a romance, more like queer lit. One of those books where it's absorbing to read and very well-written but you wonder how much the characters have really grown and there's a bit much head-hopping. It's a close (and sometimes unflattering) look at how gay men in the 1990s were dealing with sex and HIV (in vastly different ways) after the first effective treatments came out. It stayed in my mind and I now have to read everything else by this author.

I'm pretty sure I went to high school with the author, too.
