Last Call: A True Story of Love, Lust, and Murder in Queer New York by Elon Green
dark
sad
slow-paced
3.0
Type of read: Commuter Read.
What made me pick it up: One of Tennessee R.E.A.D.s prompts for May is to read a book by or about a journalist. 'Last Call' immediately caught my eye. I didn't start this one until the beginning of June, which felt very fitting at the start of Pride Month.
Overall rating: I am continually thankful for books like 'Last Call' that bring awareness to the lives and stories of those who may not otherwise be shared. With many of the nonfiction books I read, I'm just happy to have the opportunity to read and learn more about a specific point in time. I would definitely recommend 'Last Call' to any true crime individuals. It's an interesting read that is very clearly written and researched.
Reader's Note: 'Last Call' includes themes of gruesome murder, death, and sex.
