This book was different from anything I normally consider a "good read". I don't enjoy reading about anyone's sexual preference in a book. I feel like how a person likes to have sex should remain private, not shoved in your face. In the beginning I was prepared to hate what I thought would be an agenda filled liberal piece of crap, but my point of view changed half way through. I saw Toby and Fin as real people, people who sinned and made mistakes like anyone, people who loved and were loved. I had so many mixed emotions that conflicted with my moral values and how I normally see things. This book made me realize that I am guilty of judging. It was a tough pill to swallow. Fin and Toby were amazing people and I cared for them because of who they were, and who they are has nothing to do with them being gay. June's love for her gay uncle is disturbing, but it helped me to understand how difficult it would be if you were gay and you felt like you were loving the "wrong" person. Love is tricky, creates jealousy and can sometimes lead to grief. There are many different kinds of loves and this book really opened up my point of view to see a few I couldn't before.
