Rated 4 starsGood short read
I though that while there were many plot wholes in the text, the overall story was a good short read. The conveyed message is slightly off, but I can see the what the author was trying to get across, and I thoroughly enjoyed the journey all of the LGBTQ characters took.

Rated 5 starsBeing Different & Surviving High School!
This book is geared toward young adults (high school age), but I feel it's a book all ages can enjoy and benefit from, especially parents who want to better understand their gay son or daughter, and the difficulties they face while in high school.
