Really well written piece of work with great insights into a wide range of LGBTQ youth. While not incredibly eye-opening in the struggles faced by this population, giving faces to the various identities is what makes this read real. Too often, books like this can read as preachy and a cry for help, but Ryan Berg does a wonderful job of laying it out just how it is. I also appreciated that very rarely did Berg talk about how he felt, and gave more focus to the struggle and turmoil of the youth he is caring for. It would be very easy to make write a novel that read as a "white guy's foray into this specific subculture," and Berg rarely, if ever, did that.
