Review: Let's Get Back to the Party by Zak Salih
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Published: February 2021
Sebastian and Oscar were friends when they were in elementary school. When Oscar moved away, Sebastian wasn't sure if he would ever see him again. But they did see each other again when they were in college and then again now, at a wedding, Sebastian is a plus one for his friend Dani. Sebastian believes this may be the time when he will be able to fulfill his thoughts about Oscar. Will they be able to build a friendship again and maybe something more?
Thank you to Algonquin Books and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this title.
This book moved slowly for me. It switches back and forth between Sebastian and Oscar narrating the book. They are both deeply hurt men, who are trying to find their way in the changing world. A world that looks like it is becoming more accepting of the LGBTQ+ community when a tragic incident happens.
Each of these men is dealing with their own demons as it concerns their homosexuality. Both of them are sad even though Oscar probably wouldn't admit it. The story follows these two as they go through a year of changes that change them as well.
