I was glad it ended up being about what I initially thought it was, even if it took a detour in the middle. I loved Matt's development into a person who loves and stands up for what he loves, instead of someone who runs from things that make him uncomfortable. Some of the story, especially the dialogue, was a little clunky. While it was true to life, it was frustrating having to read two pages for the full message to get across between characters. Overall, the book was a positive message about accepting and loving people for who they are, not who you think they are.
