"But you know we're always going to have to rely on the goodwill of those of you who are straight for our survival. Ad that's the damned truth." 
 A painful sentiment for me personally. Right now in my country, Australia there is an ongoing debate on whether to legalise gay marriage. I don't want to get into details, but the above sentence really rang true to me while reading this. 
 One of the first books I reviewed on Good Reads was 
 Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe 
 . I loved it, although it wasn't until towards the end where it all clicked together for me. So thankfully we're getting a sequel. 
 It's not really fair to compare this book to that one, so I won't except to say the author's voice was consistent (in a good way). I enjoyed this a lot, if anything it deserves 3.5 stars but I tend to round down (sorry Ben). 
 All of the characters feel fleshed out and none of them give off a token vibe which can happen when you're dealing with sexuality and race. 
 Definitely a funny, sad, uplifting and moving read at times. One that leaves me hoping for more from the author.
