This is a queer coming-of-age story that explores what it is like to be Mormon and come to understand your sexuality. There are a lot against Tanner and Sebastian, and watching them manage and deal with these obstacles, in the same messy way any teenager would, was realistic and truthful. I loved Tanner and Sebastian in their own messy ways and wanted to give them big hugs. 

I would have liked to see more of the "after" and of Sebastian and Tanner together. I also felt that there were more issues at hand that weren't completely dealt with. I know that these are teens, with messy and complicated lives, but I would have liked to see more resolve. 

This was an important story, especially for teens. It talks about inclusion, acceptance and living your true self. It looks at allyship, and understanding yourself. This book is the book that all teens, queer or not should read.
