Audiobook version

5 stars

This book was so packed with information and meaning that when I saw the audiobook was on Hoopla I decided to listen to it. So I've read it once and then listened to it narrated. It was just as powerful and there were parts that I heard with a different perspective even just 9 months later.

Richie Jackson: Gay Like Me (Hardcover, 2020, Harper) 5 stars

The Talk My Father Could Never Have Given

5 stars

I listened to the audiobook but have purchased and will eventually read the book as well but I'm actually very glad I listened to the audiobook first. It was like having the author in the room speaking to me since he wrote it to his son, now the author is only I think about 4 or 5 years older than I am but as someone freshly out it was still relevant st any age. And it covered a lot of territory my late but straight father couldn't have dreamed of even if he wanted to.
