I was lucky enough to win this book through a Goodreads giveaway
This book really surprised me with its charm, candor, humor, and honesty. I loved that Mike was so average, and like a genuine teenage boy. The supporting characters were wonderful too. I was amazed at how much Goslee was able to accomplish in so few pages. I thought the characters were well defined and the story quite complete. I liked the way Goslee had Mike explore his emotions. He was happy, sad, confused, embarrassed, excited. I also appreciated that she did not make his coming out a total non-event. It seemed more real that some people in his life struggled with it. From his friends to his family to his internal monologue, I loved it all. I laughed a lot, but also sighed with a smile on my face.
**PS I loved all the 90s musical references. They totally made me nostalgic and called to my inner grunge goddess.
