Set in 1980s NYC at the height of the AIDS epidemic, this is a coming of age story of a young gay teen trying to find his way in a world where people were dying and there was so much uncertainty. Micah, who is deeply closeted and very conventional, befriends CJ who is wayyy out and out there. Based on the author’s real experiences in that time and place, this was compelling. NEW bc I already read it - don’t need this copy.
