maybe my rating is influenced a little by being 1. an aspiring librarian and 2. gay. i definitely didn't like everything about the narrative (is it that hard to look a ten-year-old in the face and say, like, "being who you are isn't a sin" or something equally obvious? also, why did everyone think this little boy was gay? he very well could have been, but it's weird to assert it so certainly), but it was fun to read and made me happysad so I'll take it.
