Nobody put a gun on me and forced me to read this book. I wanted to challenge myself and bought the three books of the series. I only got what I deserve! 
 I was outraged, shocked, disgusted and so on. But I was also charmed by Petey, a gentle and beautiful soul, too sensitive for his own good. 
 I don't like his boyfriend Matt though. I think he takes Petey for granted, and I certainly don't like the way he talks about - or treats - his girlfriend, even if she is not a nice, nice girl. 
 All in all it is a nice story, but the book is really too long for what needed to be said. I skipped some. 
 Far from the best coming of age story, but a promising start for a series: the potential of character growth is enormous and it makes you want to read the book 2 to see how everything evolves.
