This book took me on such an emotional journey, I couldn't put it down. Focused on the life of a group of teenage boys in a small town who are all struggling to come to terms with fact they are gay or deal with other's reactions,  but all who come from different backgrounds; this is a really insightful and confronting. It is raw and real, I think it should be considered essential reading. One of my favourite things about reading is it's ability to put you in another's shoes, this book delivered this 100% which makes it harrowing but amazing. TW- suicide
