Every once in a while,
my friends will say,
"That's gay."
Or my parents will wonder,
"Why do shows now have so many queers?"
Like it's a bad thing
with a word they shouldn't use.
And I think,
Would they say
these things
about me?
pickI haven't read that many novels in verse but, like the few I have, I loved this work. Following Jamie through questioning their identity and working up to coming out to their friends and family, I was worried it would become boring, following the same pattern as every other teen coming out story. To some extent it does, but the style helps to alleviate this, and expand on the important relationships and backgrounds of the protagonist.
