this book now reads a little basic/straightforward with how it tackles coming out and homophobia, but at the time LGBTQ+ representation in young adult books was probably almost nonexistent. a nice nostalgic read, but i wouldn't give it to teenagers now.
Graphic: Homophobia
Moderate: Violence
homophobia is a main plot point, and there is a moderately-described instance of violence.
