The first third of the book was very difficult to get into. The premise was strange and I really did not connect with the plot or characters; it’s been a little too long since I was in high school. But the last third of the story was gut wrenching. It captured so many feelings of isolation and fear that I felt when I was that age - not for the same reasons, but I knew what Aaron was feeling. The ending was perfect even if it was sweetened for the sake of the plot - it’s what queer kids need to see. Worth the read even if it wasn’t exactly up my alley anymore.
