This book was tender and heart wrenching and lovely. Seeing Nick and Andy fall in love was beautiful. Seeing them grapple with the realities of being queer in the 1950’s was heartbreaking. So much of what we have now is because of the activism, advocacy and bravery of folks living at that time, and beyond.
My favorite moment may have been when Nick dropped his nephew off and heard his mom talking to someone on the phone about a recipe. I just knew it was Andy, and what a lovely thing it was.
There’s brief mentions of period typical homophobia and violence, but nothing that gets too graphic, which I appreciated.
