Rafe was so frustrating at times and I really didn’t agree with a lot of his views but on the flip side he was so different, opinionated, and flawed. I really loved the realness of his character. This was one of the first lgbt books I read and I was so swept up in the world that was created. I truly love this series and hold it close to my heart. Ben is a whole baby boy and I will forever love that character.

Openly Straight by Bill Konigsberg is hands down one of my five star books.

I give top ratings to only a handful of books, and these are the ones that moved me physically and emotionally, the powerhouses of the book world. I strongly recommend giving this book a read, for gay and straight people alike. For gays you get to experience a new and interesting world, for straights you will get to see some of the struggles of being gay.

I'm not going to say too much about this book because I'll pretty much spoil it for everyone, but my throughts are very strong towards the positive.

Read. This. Book.
