I really liked the concept of the plot, and I liked a gay character being central and brave, but I just couldn't get into this book, as hard as I tried. I read a lot and I almost never put down a book until the end, even when I'm having trouble getting into it, because I want to see how it ends. This book, however, was disjointed and confusing. I have no problem with jumping into a scene, without a lot of explanation at first, and then getting more information as you go (show don't tell), but it never seemed to get to the point of you understanding what was going on. It stayed confusing. I never got invested in any of the characters and I finally decided that the trip to see how it ends was just not worth it. I was about 30% into the book when I just decided I was done. It's sad because the description was really compelling. And I really liked that a book about a gay main character was a "Big Read" choice.
