Greetings Zarav,
I hope you're doing well, if not—you can always borrow a bag of bingo chips from me. :)
I read "Jude's Philosophy of Gay Cancer" in it's entirety, not because I was required to, but more because, I wanted to. It was really a deep, dark and delicious ride of Jude's life, his philosophy and eventual transformation. I realize in retrospect that I used the wrong pronouns for a few characters initially, and I would like to apologize sincerely for that.
It was a tale that gripped me from the start to the end and I couldn't stop reading. There were some parts that could've been deepened for higher emotional impact, but as is, with it's characters, their stories and the highs and lows shining through, it's great. It's going into my personal favorites category.
I could keep rambling but I think as much as I love Jude, I love Dante the most, maybe he was supposed to be lovable, but you've got a lot of representation, social issues and commentary that make your book remarkable.
P.S.: Here's an awesome badge for you. Feel free to use it—or not use it but I hand it out only to the special ones: https://imgur.com/a/H3x8PBY
With smoke alarms going off in the kitchen,
Mr. Bingo
