I loved this book because it's big, gay, and fabulous, but at its heart it's not ABOUT being big, gay, and fabulous. It's the kind of book parents should give their teens to read (but many won't) and that schools should teach (but most likely none will). 
 Also - I liked this quote: "This is why we call people exes, I guess - because the paths that cross in the middle end up separating at the end."
