Almost everything about Wallace is at odds with the Midwestern university town where he is working uneasily toward a biochem degree. An introverted young man from Alabama, black and queer, he has left behind his family without escaping the long shadows of his childhood. For reasons of self-preservation, Wallace has enforced a wary distance even within his own circle of friends—some dating each other, some dating women, some feigning straightness.

Heartbreaking
Reviewed: 04-25-21
I was not prepared for the emotional rollercoaster that this book would take me on. It left me in tear sometimes, angry sometimes and overall just emotional. There is so many different topics going on in this book that effect so many different people. And seeing how Wallace is trying to move on from the trauma that is his life only to counter more trauma was heartbreaking. I felt like the story had a poetic flow to it and that added to the storytelling. Overall I thought it was a good Story. I do wish that the ending would have gone slightly differently.
