Description
Nothing hurts quite as meticulously as loving someone who doesn’t love you back.
Career-driven, sometimes cynical Austin meets Noah, a Muslim man from the other side of town. One man wants it to work. The other doesn’t know what he wants, except to find the next high.
Set in the months before and after a 30-something discovers that his partner has infected him with HIV, this book explores the inexplicable feelings that accompany the disintegration of relationships and the connections between cultural memory and identity.
My Memory Told Me a Secret is about the power of choice and the impact of culture, class, and socioeconomic status on two men whose lives intersect in devastating ways.

This book touches on so many topics that the LGBT-Q community face on a daily. Relationship, friendships, parental and my favorite, the stigma of HIV and of course drugs/alcohol.
The story of Noah and Adam is beautifully written. It felt very personal, and relatable when reading. The drinking, the hookup app (I'm sure it was Grindr, lol) the drug abuse and hookups is all very common in the community, I understood where he was going with it.
I leave you with my favorite of many quotes from the book:
" Working on yourself, understanding what you want, where you are, your limitations and your strengths- that sort of thing. Humans are often faced with competing alternatives; we are vulnerable and emotional beings."
I recommend that if you read this book, you need to have an very open mind. It's a great read. This is my honest opinion
Rating 4.5 (would have been a 5 but the cover is basic)
