I wish I had this book as a teenager. It would have helped me understand what friends have gone through and my own questioning of my sexuality.
It's such a great starting point, not too academic and not too "simple". I appreciated Dawson not using euphemisms and just stating things as they are.
While I read the revised and updated version, I feel there were still a few areas that need updating (e.g. open relationships). But with sexuality and gender we are redefining them and they're changing all the time (which is a good thing).

It was quite informative but lacked representation for asexual and aromantics. However, there is only so much you can fit in a book and I know there are other books that specifically talk about the aro/ace identities.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Drug use, Homophobia, Lesbophobia, Suicidal thoughts, and Sexual content

Very informative book. Definitely something that would help newly-out or questioning gay teens and their parents. A bit outdated since it was written so long ago.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Homophobia, Acephobia/Arophobia, Biphobia, Lesbophobia, and Transphobia
