Paperback.

His observations are often laugh-out-loud funny and will leave readers with the desire to?keep turning the pages?? ?Publishers Weekly review for Anderson, author of Tune in Tokyo and Sweet Tooth What?s a sweets-loving young boy growing up gay in North Carolina in the eighties supposed to think when he?s diagnosed with type 1 diabetes? That God is punishing him, naturally. This was, after all, when gay-hating Jesse Helms was his senator, AIDS was still the boogeyman, and no one was saying, ?It gets better.? And if stealing a copy of a gay porno magazine from the newsagent was a sin, then surely what the men inside were doing to one another was much worse.
