(Day 22 - #BoysDontCry)

*Oh, but they do...and when they do, it can be heart rending. E.g., the movie, “Candy” (from the novel “Candy: A Novel of Love and Addiction [tagged]), starring Heath Ledger, Abbie Cornish, & Geoffrey Rush. Pictured (clockwise from top left): Heath Ledger, Abbie Cornish, Luke Davies (author), Geoffrey Rush. Luke Davies also wrote a novel titled “Lion,” hello #manicmonday & @JoScho — wow! A double post! 😲

Cinfhen Woohoo!!! You thought of one!!! I haven‘t read book or seen the film but now I‘m super curious 😉 6y
gradcat @Cinfhen It was so hard not to go straight to the movie of the same name about Brandon Teena. I suppose someone posted that? I‘m going to check now...thanks for commenting! ♥️ 6y

Reggie Have you read Delicious Foods? It also has to do with slavery due to drug addiction. There are 3 narrators, a mother, her son, and cocaine. It‘s so good. Your book also sounds good. 7y
