Simply put, I loved this book enough to read it twice. The buildup of tension was spot-on, to the point that I simply could not stop reading. I enjoyed the realistic scenarios presented here--very appropriate for the the 21st century, and a nice break from some of the heavier LGBT "issue" books. Reading this book has prompted me to read all other books by Bill Konigsberg, each of which was equally amazing. Next on my to-be-read list is HONESTLY BEN, the sequel to OPENLY STRAIGHT that was released just last week!
Stars: 5/5
Recommended for: Anyone who loves YA contemporaries that approach diversity in a unique way.
