This was an interesting book. I thought that the premise sounded right up my ally, but the execution didn't work for me personally. Now will it work for teens who are in this stage of life? I absolutely think it will. I thought that the characters were very well fleshed out and acted appropriate for the age that they were meant to be. I think that books like this are so important for those who are queer or exploring their identity. I think that this is a fun book for the summer. I do feel like the basketball element could also appeal to a wider set of audiences.
