There were two books here. One, a 2 star over-the-top forgettable attempt at humor and another (5 star) very touching account of what's it's like dealing with the recognition you're gay.I must admit I skipped a lot during tales of staying with his grandmother and her brother. The book took a decided turn for the better when he arrived at Jenny's house.To be fair, perhaps that was because these relatives were more accepting of him as a person.Perhaps the first bit was needed to show what an asshole he was and how much his world sucked, but that could have been achieved much quicker.Even if the circumstances weren't factual, I'm sure a lot of the sentiments and attitudes were. The book was worth reading for that aspect alone.3.5 stars
