Wow This book is amazing! The characters really stay with me even after I've finished the book. Th e authors note at the end saying how when he thinks about the people in his life that inspired the characters and how he doesn't know where they are now but it makes him sad but whenever he thinks about someone reading the book that the characters come to life and begin their cycles anew.  That really hit home and made me really love all the characters and all their little details even more....
Plus the plot of wanting love and mourning innocence and youth and the journey of finding oneself and realizing parts of yourself is so so so so good. 
The final chapters tie it all together so beautifully and it was so so engaging and wonderful and great.
This book is going on my list of must read LGBT lit for people. Please PLease read it and think about it for a long long time.
