-- "Kirkus Reviews (starred review)""Powerful...Jones is a remarkable, unflinching storyteller, and his book is a rewarding page-turner."
-- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)""From a young age growing up in the South, Jones believed that "being a black gay boy is a death wish." In his memoir, which begins in the late 1990s, he unknots his complicated relationship with his mother and the lingering wounds of his childhood. But the book is also a sexual coming-of-age story, giving an cleareyed look at his relationships and romantic encounters."
