This book sounds like it is very powerful. Life is so difficult for kids these days and I’m sure this author and subsequent character had much to overcome. It’s definitely one I’m going to give a try.

Conner Mills seems to struggle with plenty of emotional feelings that he needs to overcome in order to accept his sexuality. I may not be part of the target audience but the story sounds inspirational.

A good book with coming-of-age story and with LGBT theme. Not my type of read so I pass.

Though this book sounds like a good read, it's not something I'm really excited about. I guess coming-of-age stories have to be pretty impressive to pique my interest these days, and I also generally prefer books that are a bit longer. All in all, this seems like a good book, just not a good book for me. Thanks for the review!

The review got me intrigued. The story traverses pertinent themes of acceptance, gay sexuality, mental health, depression, rejection, fear, suicide, loss, grief, and love. Conner's story touches on experiences that affect us as a society. Thank you for this great review.

The author must be a precise and straightforward writer. Capturing the major events of the main character's life in 134 pages is quite nice.

The book to read is not the one that thinks for you, but the one which makes you think.

This book sounds like something I can breeze through at a seating. Though I'm averse to the LGBT concept, but with a good storyline, I can make some exceptions.

It is wonderful review for a wonderful book. I think it's going to be a pleasant read. I love coming of age stories it just gives an insight and burd's view as to what is happening around us. After reading the review I'm really very excited to read the book. I think it's going to be one of those books that directly touches your heart. So can't wait to get my hands on this one.
