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.
