This book was so powerful and sad. It is a short read but one you should pick up. It is about being confused whether Sam is straight or gay and the repercussions of his decision. How his parents handle the news is shocking, in my opinion, and downright messed up! I kinda guessed who Taylor on Facebook was, but it was still messed up with what that certain character did to Sam. I must admit Brad was my favourite character and how after everything Sam put him through, he was still there for him. I thought this book was written in such a great way about the subjects involved, it was tender in parts, and the roof scene with Sam, Brad, and Haley got me a little teary.
