This was disappointing read that could have been much better with decent writing and editing-worth 2.5 stars

Wow. I am seriously worn out from this chaotic read. The back and forth of the characters and years constantly threw me for many loops. This may be someone's reality, but it is truly sad and depressing. This is a very gritty read for those looking for romance and love so I suggest you avoid this one. None of these men could be looked up to or trusted. The waxing and poetical flow that was interspersed throughout this read did nothing for the flow, which was quite jagged and jarring. Not recommended.

Tale of friends growing up, some SGL,
some not, and the struggles and triumphs
each face, together and separately, told
from an urban point of view.

Couldn't finish reading it. Only made to page 94, I think. Subject matter didn't pertain to my interest.

This book is hard to read. Honestly I didn't finish it. The gay situations pushed my interests aways.
