I listened to the audio book. The narrators were excellent.

I really loved this book. I noticed on Goodreads that some people said that there were some issues with the writing, but I found the story line so endearing that those issues didn't bother me. This book made me feel so many things, that it is hard to process them all at once. I definitely think that this is a book that will stick with me for a long time.

This book touches on very important issues pertaining to the Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS/Mormon) and homosexuality. One of the protagonists has to come to terms with his sexuality while he tries to reconcile how he feels with the Church's teachings that he has believed for his entire upbringing.

Tanner and Autumn's friendship is wonderful. She is part of the LDS church, but she accepts Tanner completely. They have a sweet, easy way about them, and their friendship perseveres despite some of the conflicts that arise.

Tanner's parents are WONDERFUL. They accept him and love him unconditionally, and treat him like a person, not a project to be fixed. It was so nice to read about happy family dynamics.

Overall, I highly recommend this book. It took me through a roller coaster of emotions, and I feel like I learned a few lessons along the way. Go check it out!
