In the spirit of the author's massively popular Twitter thread,
Tucker Shaw's When You Call My Name is a heartrending novel about
two gay teens coming of age in New York City in 1990 at the height
of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, perfect for fans of Adam Silvera and Mary
H. K. Choi. Film fanatic Adam is seventeen and being asked out on
his first date--and the guy is cute. Heart racing, Adam accepts,
quickly falling in love with Callum like the movies always
promised. Fashion-obsessed Ben is eighteen and has just left his
home upstate after his mother discovers his hidden stash of gay
magazines. When he comes to New York City, Ben's sexuality begins
to feel less like a secret and more like a badge of honor. Then
Callum disappears, leaving Adam heartbroken, and Ben finds out his
new world is more closed-minded than he thought. When Adam finally
tracks Callum down, he learns the guy he loves is very ill. And in
a chance meeting near the hospital where Callum is being treated,
Ben and Adam meet, forever changing each other's lives. As both
begin to open their eyes to the possibilities of queer love and
life, they realize sometimes the only people who can help you are
the people who can really see you--in all your messy glory. A love
letter to New York and the liberating power of queer friendship,
When You Call My Name is a hopeful novel about the pivotal moments
of our youth that break our hearts and the people who help us put
them back together.
