Review: Not really for me.

This book was an oddball. It didn't really have any structure to it, aka a beginning, middle, and an end. It was kind of like a short glimpse into the life of a group of GLBT teens. And that wouldn't necessarily be an awful thing except this book felt like a bumbling, rambling train of thought."No Tea No Shade" deals a bit with depression, which is an important issue with LGBT youth, but I wish it focused more the incident that set off the depression in everyone. Instead, there are love triangles, way too many characters, parent issues, and lots of random mumbo jumbo that detracted from the story. Or at least, what I thought was the story. This book needs a good editor to make it work.
