This book is full of so much beauty and sadness I'm not sure what to feel. I could not be more happy that this book is on Canada Reads as a book to break barriers, as any book that speaks so frankly about youth drugs, sex, bullying, and conflict, as well as the conflict that society places upon youth struggling with gender and sexual identity deserves to be spoken about and made available. As of now, officially my bid for the winner of Canada Reads.
