Summary: strange, but fascinating love story
Review: This book was fantastic from beginning to end. I can only describe it as a form of voyeurism on my part. Never could I imagine having a life like Winick had, yet her story was so riveting and well written, that I couldn't stop reading it. It made me long for more stories of her life. I quickly recommended it to every reading friend I have, the outline did not interest them, but after much pushing from me, they read, and loved it. I, too wish that I could know what Tony was thinking and feeling about their relationship. What a wild, sad, sometimes wonderful life they led. You will not be sorry that you picked this treasure up.

Summary: the best and most unrecognized memoir out there
Review: This is one of my all-time favorite books by my favorite writer. I used to read Marion Winik's cloumns in the local newspaper when I lived in Austin and have always been a fan of her writing style. I recommend this book to everyone and they all can't believe how much they enjoy it. When you first read the book synopsis on the back cover it sounds as if the story was pulled from one of those cheesy tv-movie-of-the-weeks. But Winik's story and the voice with which she tells it is so engaging and inspirational. Her words never reflect any kind of self-pity, as is often seen in many of the memoirs published recently. Instead her writing is wry, clever and very witty. This book will honestly make you laugh and cry. After reading this book you'll feel like Marion Winik is one of your close friends or wish she was.

Summary: One of the most moving autobiographies I have ever read.
Review: This may be the only book I have ever read where I wanted to contact the author and let her know how much her story had moved me. A genuine love story . . . one that left me awash in tears by the time I finished (which was uncomfortable because I was sitting on a beach surrounded by people)! I have recommended this book time and time again to my friends, who wind up thanking me for the loan (and, to date, I've always gotten the book back -- which makes me quite happy)! Marion Winik has a wonderful "voice," a sincere ability to convey emotions without concern that others will sit in judgment . . . I have become quite a fan.

Summary: A most unusual love story.
Review: This true story of the author's nearly obsessive love for a handsome, homosexual ice skater is at once tragic and hilarious. Ms. Winik is a manic, heroin-abusing rascal who writes with total candor of the relationship between herself and her beautiful, gay husband. Through sexual confusion, the death of a child, and the ultimate finality of AIDS, the reader is taken on a wild ride through the ups and inevitable downs of a most unusual partnership.
A real page turner

Summary: This provocative memoir resonates with clarity and emotion.
Review: Winik's memoir has a humorous, understated style that helps you through the heavy subjects -- drug addition, AIDS, assisted suicide -- that would otherwise turn this story into something sentimental and unreal.
After meeting Winik at a book festival, I was entranced by her personality and ended up delighted by her book. This memoir never lacks for emotion, plot, or interest.

Summary: Amazing Story of What Love Can Do
Review: Yes, the two main people in this memoir are self-indulgent, but there is one, and only one, thread that holds them together: Love. It cannot be sexual attraction, because one is gay and one is straight. And the thread of love holds and holds and holds and finally snaps. Marion Winik's writing held me from the first chapter to the last and never snapped.
