Authors who are able to capture what it's like to be inside a teenagers head are a force to be reckoned with. This is a story that's full of love and realization and grief and a young man cautiously but purposely finding his voice.

All I knew about this book was that 1) people loved it and 2) the author's local to me. And that it was gay in some fashion. I'm a little disappointed about the queerness -- I was hoping for something more out there. But I still loved the book! I loved how it focused on confronting not fitting in, bullying, depression, and father and son relationships. It was such a great read. I entirely plan on reading the next book in this because I want to see what the next chapter is.
