This was my first book by Chris O'Guinn.  I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the story.  It seemed real enough in dealing with the pangs and growth during adolescence.  I would recommend this to parents of youth and/or teenagers struggling with their sexuality and/or youth facing a serious illness.  The author took you back to your days in High School.  The author dealt with the loneliness of being different and the struggles of two young boys, one gay and the other a young cancer patient.  It was moving and yet real as the author presented characters who explored friendship, fear, acceptance, and the strength within that all of us have, but sometimes struggle to find. The book was thoughtful and moving.
