About this listen

March 1995. As Raheim “Pooquie” Rivers juggles his increasingly hectic schedule as a supermodel, he is rocked by the news that one of his idols, NWA founder Eric “Eazy-E” Wright, has AIDS. His complacency shattered, Raheim gets tested for HIV but keeps it a secret from his boyfriend, Mitchell “Little Bit” Crawford. Meanwhile, life goes on: his son struggles in a new school and his high school sweetheart falls in love with a new man, while Mitchell becomes concerned about his moodiness and withdrawal. As he has done so successfully with the other books in the B-Boy Blues series, Hardy draws his fascinating characters into the ferment of urgent societal issues. As the date of his test result draws near, Raheim’s fear and the ongoing stigma of AIDS push him toward conflicting emotions and decisions.

This novella is a brief yet engaging continuation of Raheim and Mitchell’s story. I was pleased to see their relationship still going strong, and the vivid, intimate scene featuring Raheim in California stood out for its authenticity and energy—James Earl Hardy’s writing style truly shines here. While the story left me wanting more, it has definitely built anticipation for the next installment. I’m hopeful the next book will offer a fresh perspective, perhaps from Mitchell’s point of view, or take us on an entirely new adventure.

Overall, this is a very good read by an author who knows how to captivate his audience.

A short story that is very deep
