NATIONAL BESTSELLER - A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK - A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITOR'S CHOICE - 2023 LAMBDA LITERARY PRIZE FOR GAY FICTION FINALIST
The debut novel from television WRITER/PRODUCER OF THE CHI, NARCOS, and BEL-AIR tells a fierce and riveting queer coming-of-age story following the personal and political awakening of a young, gay, Black man in 1980s New York City. "Consistently engrossing." --New York Times Book Review "Full of joy and righteous anger, sex and straight talk, brilliant storytelling and humor... A spectacularly researched Dickensian tale with vibrant characters and dozens of famous cameos, it is precisely the book we've needed for a long time." --Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less Earl "Trey" Singleton III arrives in New York City with only a few dollars in his pocket. Born into a wealthy Black Indianapolis family, at 17, he is ready to leave his overbearing parents and their expectations behind. In the city, Trey meets up with a cast of characters that changes his life forever. He volunteers at a renegade home hospice for AIDS patients, and after being put to the test by gay rights activists, becomes a member of the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP). Along the way Trey attempts to navigate past traumas and searches for ways to maintain familial relationships--all while seeking the meaning of life amid so much death. Vibrant, humorous, and fraught with entanglements, Rasheed Newson's My Government Means to Kill Me is an exhilarating, fast-paced coming-of-age story that lends itself to a larger discussion about what it means for a young gay Black man in the mid-1980s to come to terms with his role in the midst of a political and social reckoning.Shipping Notes

ightweight Cooling Comforter That Actually Feels Good for Hot Nights
This seersucker cooling comforter has been a nice upgrade for warmer nights. It’s very lightweight and breathable, so it doesn’t feel heavy or trapping heat like a traditional comforter. The fabric has a soft, slightly silky feel, and the seersucker texture gives it a bit of airflow that helps it stay more comfortable.
The fit is good on a Twin size bed with enough drape over the sides without feeling oversized or bulky. It lays nicely on the bed and doesn’t bunch up easily, which makes it easy to straighten out in the morning.
Thickness-wise, it’s on the thinner side, which is actually what makes it work for hot sleepers. It’s not meant to be a heavy blanket and more of a light, breathable layer that still feels like a comforter. The reversible design is a nice touch too depending on which side you prefer.
Overall, it’s easy to use, lightweight, and comfortable for summer or warm sleepers. It feels like good value if you want something simple that helps cut down on overheating without overcomplicating things.

Cooling Blanket for Hot Sleepers, Soft Lightweight Comfort with a Cool-to-the-Touch Feel
This reversible cooling blanket is a great option for anyone who sleeps warm. It’s incredibly soft, very lightweight, and has that instantly cool-to-the-touch feel that makes it especially comfortable for hot sleepers.
What I liked most is how airy and breathable it feels without being heavy or stuffy. It’s comfortable enough to use all night and gives that nice cooling sensation when you first pull it over you. The softness also makes it feel cozy without sacrificing the lightweight design.
My only real wish is that it came with a matching pillowcase, because that would make it feel even more complete as a sleep set.
Pros:
Extremely soft and comfortable
Cool to the touch
Lightweight and airy feel
Great for hot sleepers
Breathable without feeling heavy
Cons:
Does not include a matching pillowcase
Verdict:
If you tend to sleep hot, this is a really nice lightweight cooling blanket. It’s soft, breathable, and comfortable with a refreshing cool feel. I just wish it included a pillowcase to make the set feel complete

Cooling Blanket is a sleep saver for me!
This is the second product I have used from bedsmile and as with the other one, this is a great product! It truly is a cooling blanket. I am a very hot sleeper and live in a hot, humid climate, so this has been a sleep saver for me! One side is silky smooth and feels so good on your skin. The other side has a texture to it which is great if you want to use it as your only bedding, which I do. It covers well and hangs over the edges as it should. I ordered the white one and it is bright and unblemished. The silky side magically feels much cooler than typical bedding and keeps me cooler during the night. It is lightweight but heavy enough to make you feel that you are "under the covers". In my opinion, putting additional covers over it would defeat the purpose but if you live in a cooler climate, it would still be beneficial to use this blanket as the silky coolness would help get a good night's sleep anywhere. Another great benefit of this product is that it does not have any strange odors when unpacking. I did wash it before using, but honestly, I am not sure it was necessary.

Comfortable all night
Size: Queen, Color: White
So cozy! The cooling effect is nice. The pillow case is super soft and my favorite part. Made well. I personally wish it was just a little thicker, but overall recommend it!
