Johnson describes his introduction to sex in college as difficult due to the lack of sex education for queer youth.
Their struggles with identity and sexuality are addressed in the context of a supportive family, something many young people lack. Johnson's story is one of strength and hope.

5.0
Anywho, this book was very explicitly written for young adults, and the writing style does reflect that. That is not to say that there aren't some really great and powerful moments prose-wise. It was also just a really enjoyable read. I'm glad a book club finally forced me to read it sooner than I might have otherwise.
