I found this book very compelling and interesting. I loved the main characters and that the secondary characters showcased a range of ways to be queer and/or sexual. At times, I did find it a bit far fetched that someone Jacks age would have such a wide range of sexual experiences and such a well-developed, mature set of sexual ethics - but hey, maybe Im wrong about that. And even if it was far-fetched it was a great way to work in some quality, non-condescending sex education for queer teens into an older YA book. These are all topics 16 and 17 yos will hear about, even if only a few are personally engaged in them at that age.
