This book was powerful and heart-wrenching, and so real. Getting to see the brother grow in their relationships with each other and the world around them felt incredibly believable and important. While I didn't enjoy all of the chapters on sex etc, I think having books that highlight these conversations and confusions, especially in queer kids growing up, is deeply important. I also wish the later chapters had been longer. I felt like we were just seeing glimpses into their lives as they became adults. 

Overall deeply personal and moving.
