I can't really put into words how I feel about this book, except to say it's the best thing I've read in a long time. 
 Set in the 1980s, it's about 14-year-old June, whose beloved uncle Finn has just died from AIDS. After his death she learns he had a partner, Toby, for over 10 years who she wasn't allowed to know about. At first she's angry, feeling like everything she knew about Finn was false, and resentful that maybe she wasn't the most important person in Finn's life after all. But June starts to realize that she and Toby are connected as the two people Finn loved most in the world, and that without Finn they need each other. 
 It's really sad and my heart just breaks for June and Toby, but it's also beautifully written and just breathtaking.
