The Great Believers

“A heartbreaking and engrossing account of the AIDS epidemic, as well as what happens to those who are left behind.”

“i cried so hard.”

“Get ready to cry mfs!!!! this book illuminated parts of the AIDS crisis that I’d never thought about before, and did a good job talking about the aftermath of this period in history, too.”

“1980s Chicago. AIDS epidemic. Friendship. Love. Family. Loss.”

“Although it’s fiction, this book taught me so much. It expanded my understanding and perspective of the AIDS crisis and its lasting impacts on communities, friend groups, families. Fluctuating between Chicago in the 80s and Paris in present day, it was a raw story full of complex human emotion and relationships, navigating illness and the fear of illness while trying to live a normal life. It’s an important read and will stick with me for a long time.”

“This one stays with you. I still recommend it all these years later like I just read it.”
