It's the first time I've seen someone bring up HIV and safe sex in lesbian relationships, and how they were also at risk of getting the virus in the 80s. It deals with grief, death, and safe sex in an inclusive way. Many of the stories are related to the AIDS epidemic, told from different perspectives, which made me almost cry at some points. They are not perfect, but I still rooted for them. The characters are so real, and their lives are so odd but in a good way. It's the first time I laugh out loud multiple times reading something. I think this is one of those books every queer person should read, especially if you're Latinx. I had the best time reading this, and I'm surprised people don't know about this book. It is hilarious, insightful, and very relatable. This collection of short stories is brilliant.
