That son of mine. He's so easy to read!

A cute, quick slice-of-life read about a clearly gay son who isn't ready to come out and his loving, slightly exasperated mother who does her best to play along, as well as other members of the family who follow her lead. The sheer amount of family acceptance is incredibly heartwarming, and there are plenty of nice moments that put a smile on my face. The humor of all those situations where the son once again slips, then backtracks does get repetitive rather quickly, so I'm honestly not sure if I'm going to read the future volumes: there's only so much repetition I can take. But this is really a very sweet, fluffy book for a cozy evening, and the art is rather nice!
