With care, emotional depth, and a myriad of period music references, <b>Konigsberg expertly balances Micah’s wonder, fear, despair, and outrage at coming out during the AIDS crisis</b>. Strong characterizations of Micah and CJ are buoyed by excellent dialogue and believable secondary characters—…propelling this <b>exhilarating page-turner</b>. It’s sure to be <b>an emotional eye-opener</b> for those who did not live through this
