I think that this book is definitely worth a read. Once I read a couple of chapters, I began to really want to read it to the end. The author shows us the life a gay man, his relationships, that with his family and those around him as he grows up and starts to find himself. I really liked how his partner & his lives were written and the family that they created and how they dealt with the beginnings of the AIDS crisis. I'm still mulling over the ending, kind of sitting on the fence about whether I liked how it ended or not.
