Honestly Ben by Bill Konigsberg
3.0

I was really excited for this but it was disappointing.

I loved Ben's character in Openly Straight and with this book we get his side of things and more insight on his home life, Rafe, and school. Ben was written as such a meticulous, studious character it was really frustrating that he didn't do any research about sexuality or the LGBTQ+ community. I guess I was hoping the book would take the time and explain that there is more than straight, gay, and bi.

The book had its moments but it was frustrating.
