Sometimes you read books you never thought you would read and that is the case with Blue Pills. Based solely on the cover, I would never have gravitated to this title, but I am glad I found it and that I have read it. The reading challenge, Booked2022 challenged you to read a book where the protagonist is HIV positive or has aids. What I love about this book is it shows a romance between someone who is HIV positive and someone who is not, and how they change each other’s world. This is subtitled a positive love story and it is exactly that. It never looks at the downsides. It addresses them, but it’s not the main thing. It’s about the relationship, in finding the good things among the scary things. This book quietly screams of hope and joy and was not what I was expecting at all.  Even though it is 22 years old it’s still entirely relevant and a fantastic read whether you need to fill a reading challenge or just want to stretch your standard reading pile.
