This was adorable.
Rafe Goldberg is tired of being seen as "that gay kid". So he moves cross country to a boarding school where no one knows him, where he's hoping to just be seen as "Rafe".
This goes pretty much how you'd expect it to.
The book tackles some hefty ideas like, if you're not being honest about yourself to others, do they really even know you, and like you for you? It also dips into the struggle of living life openly. Yes it can be so much more fulfilling, but that doesn't mean it doesn't come with it's own set of challenges.
The writing was witty, fun, and it was a heartfelt story. I really enjoyed it.
