Even if you were never in the 'system' and only had (on some level) a dysfunctional family life while growing up (and what young person growing up gay didn't) you can relate to the characters in this story. The insights are very interesting and show how some have to adapt in order to survive. Often 'family' have to be dealt with even though all we want is to move on and find a safe place. Mr. Green tells a good story and in the process let's up know that not every one connected with the foster parent system are disinterested and uncaring though many, like  in any system are in it just for the money. It is a good read. I think that it was way too short, however. Perhaps parts one and two should have been combined into one book. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.
