with the YA i've been reading lately it's easy to forget how brutal life can be in high school. this is hard hitting and doesn't pull any punches but at the same time is incredibly tender and sweet. i cried tears of pure joy when Morgan comes out to Eric and his perception of her immediately shifts. i really liked the time constraint of the book and only seeing them once a year, how things need time to change. G-d i wanna hug these kids.
