Book Overview

A funny, honest novel about being out, being proud... and being ready for something else.

The award-winning novel about being out, being proud, and being ready for something else. Pre-order the companion novel Honestly Ben now (out 3/28/17) Rafe is a normal teenager from Boulder, Colorado. He plays soccer. He's won skiing prizes. He likes to write.And, oh yeah, he's gay. He's been out since 8th grade, and he isn't teased, and he goes to other high schools and talks about tolerance and stuff. And while that's important, all Rafe really wants is to just be a regular guy. Not that GAY guy. To have it be a part of who he is, but not the headline, every single time.So when he transfers to an all-boys' boarding school in New England, he decides to keep his sexuality a secret -- not so much going back in the closet as starting over with a clean slate. But then he sees a classmate breaking down. He meets a teacher who challenges him to write his story. And most of all, he falls in love with Ben... who doesn't even know that love is possible.

I purchased this and couldn't wait to read it. From the first page my interest was to the point that I couldn't stop and put the darn book down. The brutal killings in the movie theater hit very close to what is happening in our society today. But the bravery, courage, struggle, and determination of those involved really made the story seem very real. Anyone who wants a really great read, don't hesitate to give it a try...
