Since I read and loved The Music of What Happens, I needed to try out Bill Konigsberg's most well known previous book.

Openly straight would have been w'a wonderful read at the time it came out. Not sure it still is today. Some things just don't work as well today. And yet in the end I still found it good.

But hey, I truly recommend reading The Music of What Happens for some brilliant content from this author who clearly has done nothing but improve on the small things that make Openly Straight outdated.
