The narrative is so beautifully written, softly changing between timelines. It's comforting and surprising how much I resonate with the feelings and behaviour of the main character, although we grew up in totally different contexts. I suppose growing up as a queer boy is a similarly universal experience, fighting the desire to observe other boys and struggling with the thoughts of existing outside the normative.

Just bought this book in Berlin, I'm so excited to read it! I know it has a lot of references to Giovanni's Room and after reading it last summer I'm thrilled to see how these two Polish 1980s characters are referencing it 😍
