I loved this book. I loved how real this book was about putting in your face how in many ways the world is and is not ready to fully accept queer folks. I think that using horror as the medium to tell this story was a choice I can get behind. The man with the damn cigarette really messed me up BTW. The struggle of being in the closet and being in the open was very real in the book. This book was everything to me. The only thing that does not make this 5 stars is because I think I was confused on the plot sometimes in the book.
