It is too wonderful for words. I laughed, I cried, I had so many emotions. The characters come to life on the pages and you feel everything they feel. AIDS is such a tragedy and we lost so many people to the disease. Luckily today there are some powerful drugs that can keep it a bay and slow down the progression so that those affected have a very long life expectancy. In the early days this was not the case. I remember the fear and how being gay was looked upon as a death sentence. (less)

I love the series It's a sin. Is this book similar to the series?

I loved It's A Sin too... absolutely heartbreaking. This book is set in New York while It's A Sin was set in London. This book also follows younger people, the 3 main characters are 17, I believe while the characters in It's A Sin are in their early 20s. However, this book is similar to It's A Sin in the fact that it follows young queer people growing up in the middle of the AIDS epidemic and them discovering themselves and their identities and falling in love. It's definitely more of a young adult story whereas I would say It's A Sin is more new adult. (less)
