He's been out since 8th grade, and he isn't teased, and he goes to other high schools and talks about tolerance and stuff. And while that's important, all Rafe really wants is to just be a regular guy. Not that GAY guy. To have it be a part of who he is, but not the headline, every single time.So when he transfers to an all-boys' boarding school in New England, he decides to keep his sexuality a secret -- not so much going back in the closet as starting over with a clean slate. But then he sees a classmate breaking down. He meets a teacher who challenges him to write his story. And most of all, he falls in love with Ben... who doesn't even know that love is possible.

Must read. I loved the book, but I honestly wish it was longer and went in more depth about characters. It was still a great book, but the author could have made it better if they went into more detail. Also the ending felt a bit cut off. The author put a good perspective on how not all gay males are more feminine, and how they just want to be treated like another guy.
Was it good? Yes.. I thought that the book was a great read and had a nice lesson. However I wished in some ways it was a bit different. I find it very annoying when the main character in a book is so weak, I guess that's just me though. I also didn't like the fact that throughout the book I couldn't help but feel like the author was shaming the stereotypical gay male. There is nothing wrong with being effeminate and I did see that the main character thought that but I still felt like there were some comments thrown in to shade that type of person.
Amazing!. It was such a relatable book. Chapter 14’s conversation with Rafe and his mom make me think of my mother, and how if something were to happen to me it all of the sudden became her problem and affected her life in some profound way. Love her to death, but i get it.
Haven’t read. I haven’t read this yet but I saw a negative review that was completely undeserved so I figured I should give this author five stars anyway. Keep going, Bill Konigsberg. What you are doing for the world is so valuable and amazing.
Didn't read. Sounds like regressive left garbage
Good read. Needs more! Ugh
AMAZING READ!. Great book! Couldn't put it down. Wish it was longer. Wish we could have found out more about Ben in the ending. Absolutely loved this story.
