A muddled but often charming story.
While this book does have a lot of nice individual moments and some great characters the overall story and message seen a bit muddled.

very good! and very accurate for what it’s like to be a queer guy with a straight best friend , and articulates what people don’t see behind closed doors! there was a few spots in particular that made me upset with the protagonist, but overall good!

This was so freaking cute!
In Openly Straight, you will meet Rafe. He has been out of the closet for a while now.. but he doesn't seem all that happy with it. He realized that he missed a lot out in life.. like being treated like a guy by the guys. That's not the only thing that has rubbed him the wrong way either. So, he transfers to an all-boys boarding school.
While at this new school, he decides to go back into the closed. This decision doesn't sit right with his family and friends but what can they do? He's stubborn and wants to be treated differently. Once his decision was made, I knew things were going to bite him in the ass. As to when it was going to happen, I had no idea and I just sat down for the ride.
Things started to heat up between him and Ben. They were completely adorable and just made me smile. The drama was expected to come but after that ending.. I am so excited for the next book. Now I just need to find it.
