All I knew about this book was that 1) people loved it and 2) the author's local to me. And that it was gay in some fashion. I'm a little disappointed about the queerness -- I was hoping for something more out there. But I still loved the book! I loved how it focused on confronting not fitting in, bullying, depression, and father and son relationships. It was such a great read. I entirely plan on reading the next book in this because I want to see what the next chapter is.

This book snuck up on me, punched me in the gut then stroked my head and told me everything's gonna be okay.

That is to say it was beautiful and I loved it.
