How Much Time Do You Have? a compilation of short essays, sees Perkins seeking closure on the first quarter of his life as he waxes honest about the greatest trials and tribulations he's had to endure thus far. Perkins uses his larger-than-life personality to transport readers to whichever moment of his life is being highlighted at this time. Whether it be finding the courage to come out to his friends and family, or navigating facing eviction and repossession in the same year, the life of Zachary Perkins is a whimsical ride in every approach of the word. Sometimes the volatility throughout (in moments such as Perkins finding out that his best friend's have just been arrested in connection with the murder of their son) leaves you on the edge of your seat. Other moments, such as seeing the world through the lens of a then 16-year-old Zachary and the unconventional methods he emplored to express his sexuality leave you no choice but to root for him. While the stores feature in HMTDYH? are gripping, compelling, and unbelievable - Perkins is clear throughout about what he wants readers to take away...your life and all of the mistakes you may have made along the way don't deserve to define you..
