As a romance, or a romantic drama, this isn't a bad read, but I can't say that it's something I'd particularly think to pass on or reread. In the end, it was as predictable as possible, and while the writing was fine, it also wasn't anything to really keep me turning the pages. Simply, my interest regularly flagged, and I'm not sure that having the time to read more quickly would have made much of a difference. If you want a romance that tackles the issues related to HIV/AIDS, you might find this worth picking up, but it will otherwise just fade into a generic romance for this particular reader. ( )

A love story in the 80's, in the middle of a social revolution, AIDS, the new role of the woman in society... This is one of the books that will remain with me forever. ( )

One of the best books I've ever read... 5 stars is not even close... ( )
