I think if I read this book 30 years ago I probably would have rated it higher, but it unfortunately does not stand the test of time well. I actually think this is a good thing, as what makes it seem dated is the attitudes about the LGBTQ community which have changed so much in the intervening decades. Also, I think the character of Jack would seem real and relatable to teens (but I really would like to know their opinions) but the white male coming-of-age story has been overdone.
