The award-winning novel about being out, being proud, and being ready for something else . . . now in paperback. Rafe is a normal teenager from Boulder, Colorado. He plays soccer. He's won skiing prizes. He likes to write. And, oh yeah, he's gay. He's been out since 8th grade, and he isn't teased, and he goes to other high schools and talks about tolerance and stuff. And while that's important, all Rafe really wants is to just be a regular guy. Not that GAY guy. To have it be a part of who he is, but not the headline, every single time. So when he transfers to an all-boys' boarding school in New England, he decides to keep his sexuality a secret -- not so much going back in the closet as starting over with a clean slate. But then he sees a classmate break down. He meets a teacher who challenges him to write his story. And most of all, he falls in love with Ben . . . who doesn't even know that love is possible. This witty, smart, coming-out-again story will appeal to gay and straight kids alike as they watch Rafe navigate feeling different, fitting in, and what it means to be himself.

Its hard to be different, Scarborough said. And perhaps the best answer is not to tolerate differences, not even to accept them. But to celebrate them. Maybe then those who are different would feel more loved, and less, well, tolerated. There are two things you should know about this book:1. Mr. Scarborough is the best character to ever exist.2.

You can be anything you want, but when you go against who you are inside, it doesnt feel good.4.5/5 StarsThis was a (nearly) perfect read. I absolutely enjoyed reading Openly Straight . On one hand because I didn't have any expectations towards it and on the other hand because it exceeded them anway.I was suprised to like this book so much. The LGBT+ book market is still growing and growing. It's hard to find a book in this category that is able to live up to the readers expectations or to say,

BooktubeAThon Challenge #1: Read a book about a character that is different from you - COMPLETE!I think this is more of a 3.5 stars, but I'm feeling really wishy washy about this one. I really enjoyed this and I loved all of the characters, but some of the way things were handled in this didn't necessarily sit well with me. Wompppppppppaodk;jfashkdfjhd

9/23/17WOW. Like w o w. I goddamn loved this book! It's both a quirky high schoolers interacting feel-good kinda book and a gut wrenching exploration of identity and "coming out." I'm so glad I picked this up with the sequel already out, because there's no way I could wait to pick it up!I have to sit on this review for a bit, but in the meantime, I'll leave this incoherent ramble to encourage everyone to read this asap.
