The story of an activist in 1980's NYC. He leaves the midwest and quickly involves himself in the bathhouses and subsequent HIV and gay rights challenges after meeting Bayard Rustin in one of the bathhouses. Fast paced, and a fairly accurate depiction of the NYC gay community at that time.

Gritty and powerful, this book will keep you turning it’s pages. A book unlike any others I’ve read, such a unique coming of age story that is not an unique experience for many. It left me wanting more of Trey’s story.

I could not put this book down, it was incredible and these characters will stay with me for a very long time, such incredible storytelling. Readers have deserved a fictional account of the 1980s told through the eyes of this specific narrator. Historical figures such as Bayard Rustin pop up and I cherished the fictional conversations between him and the main character. To witness movements such as ACT and the fight for safe and adequate housing and the fight against slumlords through a fictional account was mesmerizing and the footnotes were historically sound, amazing writer and amazing book.
