I really liked this book and I think I'll probably put more from the author on my TBR list. I'm a mid 70s baby but I could still relate to a lot of the main characters childhood (late 60s) and it was nostalgiac in a nice way. There were a lot of different characters in this book, but it was easy to follow and they were mostly lovable.
There was some abuse and homophobia portrayed realistically, but the book showed how the abuse wasn't acceptable and the negative effects it could have. The queer characters and their relationships were shown in a positive light. Nothing was too graphic or dwelled on for too long.
Overall, it was an interesting story that was well worth the read. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a little break from heavier reading but isn't into total fluff books.
