This book feels younger than it is; the author is a bit older than I am, and it was written around the turn of the century, but the love and support and happy endings, though mixed in with vignettes of some cruelty, feels very modern. Having lived transiently in the Blue Ridge mountains and feeling very much an outsider, I can see, especially with this book, how being an insider in some ways is protective.

I got this book as a Freebie when I went to a Leadership camp for GLBT and Straight Ally Student Leaders. I read it in a day, and it was an interesting story. Deals with a boy who figured he'd make waves by coming out in the Bible Belt South to his Christian, Military family but ended up having it be a non-event. A decent, non-victim story. Not life changing, but a light-ish read.

Ok so although this book has a v weird opinion abt pedophilia, I realllyyyyyy enjoyed it. The writing is sharp and funny, the story is truly sweet and charming, and I can honestly say I’ve never read something quite like it. I truly recommend it
