Easily among the best GLBTQ/coming-out stories I've read, complete with the confusions and angst and worries of everyday life. Sensible conversations about sex before they have it! Awkwardness! Uncertainty about how to talk to people, dealing with pushy family members, friends who are maybe less-stellar friends than you think! There was so much I loved about this book and the way it handled the myriad issues without ever turning into a "GAY BOOK." I mean, that's the main thing going on, but it's far from the defining characteristic and why are you still reading this review instead of this book?
