3.0

I have complicated feelings about this book - it DOES capture how a teenage boy would talk in 2008, and does give a more generous portrayal of queer folks than plenty of other books at the time. But little dude really does throw the slurs around and very dubious shit happens towards the end. Book does go down quickly, though.
