I’ve read (and forgotten) a lot of books in the past few years, but this one SHOOK me in a way I cannot explain. Don’t look up any synopsis or background info, just dive in blind and be patient. I swear the payoff goes crazy.

Came here to make sure this was on the list. One of the best books I’ve read in a longtime!

“Let me add my voice to the chorus of people recommending this book. A beautiful slow burn. The less said in advance about the plot the better. I read it in about three sittings over the weekend.”

“Just thinking about this book makes me want to go back and read it again. Sometimes a story creeps up on you slowly, thoughtfully, carefully, and then proceeds to crush you and break your heart. And you’re grateful for it. This is one of those.”

“Best book I read in 2026. Moved me in a way I almost cannot put into words. I love being gay.”
