Wow. Absolutely stunning, beautiful book. The two narratives wove together in an unusual interesting way. Adam's relationships with his family and self were so brilliantly explored. I've never read something which so accurately captures the way religious homophobia can affect LGBT young people. It's also refreshing to read a YA book which doesn't shy away from sex and teenage lust.
