It is my understanding 200 downloads moves the amazon needle in regard to improved status on algorithm. Is this true? I have five hours left. Any suggestions for inviting people fast without being a pain would be greatly appreciated.

It is a memoir about growing up differently in 80s Boston.

To be gay, homoromantic, and introverted in the 1970s and '80s was to live in translation, performing fluency in a language that was never yours, while carrying the real one alone in the dark.

Unrequited is a memoir about longing more than loss, about the particular ache of desire that has no outlet and no name — or at least no name you were allowed to use yet. Jonathan Lindstrom traces an adolescence shaped by performance and solitude, by friendships that felt like almost-love, and by the quiet labor of surviving a self you couldn't quite show anyone.

Written with humor and pathos in equal measure, the early chapters have the bittersweet warmth of a life genuinely, if obliquely, lived. The final section turns darker arriving at a conclusion that doesn't resolve so much as settle, like light after a long afternoon.

For anyone who learned to want quietly, this book knows you.
