I thought I was prepared for this book. But no. I was not prepared. Never will be. 
 Deep inside I was screaming and confused. And shocked. Andrew trampled my heart on. I. Was. Knocked. Out. 
 I thought Winger would just be about sports, teenage boys and high school life. But nah. I even thought wonder how this book would end. I was like, "Okay, we are getting nowhere. What's the catch?" You know what kept me reading this book? The struggles were real. I mean, I know it's fiction but the drama? Oh c'mon, it happens in real life. The angst and worries, their complicated relationships, cheating and the bullying and whatever high school stuff they experienced were all real. They all happen. 
 But it was not just that. It kept me going because it's pretty comical. The book has a strong funny presence, which had me laughing out loud in the most impossible scenarios until I bawled my eyes out. The graphics did not detract me from the book either, instead it made a better reading experience for me. It was also one of the best I've read from a POV of a straight boy who addresses LGBT issues in the most honest way. 
 Winger was fast paced and very witty story. It has amazing character development and most of all a twist that leaves your heart broken (okay, that's a spoiler.) I flew throughout this book where I seriously had to rest my soul after reading this beautiful masterpiece. 
 Well, it was not a flawless book. But it's full with a lot of things, great coming of age story, filled with love and friendship and a few tears, and all of them combined make up for a great book. I liked it and I'm going to give it 4 solid stars.
