Here are four stories about growing up gay in America. Even though they are fictional, the author's experiences are within every word and on every page starting at age 12 and going through to age 18. The stories reveal challenging, emotional obstacles that any young gay male must hurdle while at the same time melding with parents, teachers, siblings, friends, school, and straight society. "Readable and inoffensive, Irvine's clipped sentences form a suitable vehicle for the subtle emotion and longing that permeate each tale...These forays delve deep into the heart of gay adolescence." -- Kirkus Reviews. "Highly Recommended" -- Page Turner Awards, 2020.
