From Booklist
At last! The sequel to Love Ruins Everything (1998), Tulchinsky's laugh-out-loud novel of Jewish Canadians. Ditzy lesbian Nomi, mourning the loss of the girlfriend who dumped her, is front and center again, along with HIV-positive cousin Henry and beautiful Julie, Nomi's new love interest, unfortunately many miles away, now that Nomi is back in San Francisco. Nomi's affair is experiencing the comic and awful bumps (and, via phone sex, grinds) of long-distance relationships. Henry's health has diminished, and his Jewish Mafia dad, Solly, who has taken up with Henry's mom again, has moved in with Henry and his lover, Roger. Oh, yes, and the story of the century--that the U.S. government developed and disseminated HIV--is about to break with the new millennium. Tulchinsky opts less for guffaws than poignant sighs this time, preferring to focus on character development--and what characters, given Nomi's extended family--and leaving her audience eager for more of Nomi, Henry, and the story of the century.
