Sometimes a book sneaks up on you, and this was for sure one of those for me. I loved the peek into Portland in the 90's especially the grunge aspects. The queer family aspects were great as well, and really showcased the reality for a lot of people at the time trying to escape their toxic family environments. My only faults are that I think that the book could have been just a bit shorter, and maybe expanded on the ending part.
