This book was an introduction to an author whose books I've grown to love so much! Nate and Adam explore the difficulties of a long-distance relationship while Nate publicly copes with the aftermath of a hate crime. Nate can be a bit of a jerk at times, but given his situation and the fact that he's a teenager, it fits so incredibly well and is incredibly authentic. There were times when I laughed with him, yelled at him, and cried for him. (And a particular time when I wanted to punch him in the face myself!) But overall, this book is worth reading so many times. Loved it!
