This was a fast paced book tackling homophobia first and foremost as well as classism. I wish the flap copy had not revealed as much as it did. That is not an author issue.  The writing was direct, fast paced, as I kept turning those pages.  Themes at once super heartbreaking and very difficult to read how the main character is treated and talked about, however the hope and desire for change is propulsive.
