This book is different from the vast majority of books I have read this year.
It follows a new student at college who likes to explore campus – like an urban explorer – getting into places that are usually not seen by members of the public. When they do this and wander around – they find boxes of files. They obviously have a look through them – as you do, and then want to know more. They appear to be files from a legal case from about 30 years ago concerning the college and some students.
They have just started college and are forming a new group of friends – they try and find out as much as they can about the case and the participants.
The most worrying thing about this is that the 1990s was 30 years ago!!

It’s a nice story that addresses a number of issues around gay equality, relationships, trans issues, harassment and privilege. And probably more.
There’s also some really interesting stuff about medical anthropology, how different people and cultures address sickness and wellbeing, and how we are conditioned by our parent/guardian’s ideas and behaviours about illness when growing up.

It was a really interesting read – at times it felt as thought it was a bit too educational about gender issues and attitudes but very interesting reading.
