Like A Love Story by Abdi Nazemian
I really loved this story. The book touches on some very hard issues dealing with AIDS and how people react and respond to people who have contracted the virus. The book is set in the 1980's which was a time when the world was learning more about the virus and it was still questionable on how to contract it and the medicine that was very hard to get due to the cost in which most insurances didn't cover. The book follows three friends that are dealing with such issues. Art, a young gay guy, that wants to stand up for gay rights but is trying to overcome obstacles with his parents. Judy, a heterosexual girl, dealing with her uncle, who is dying of the virus and Reza, an Iranian boy, who just moved to New York and is very stressful about the virus even to the point of not coming out as gay but he has fallen for Art. And let's not forget Madonna! I highly recommend this book!
