The whole time I read this book it was more or less "well, this is certainly different" running through my head. This is the story of the friendship between high schoolers Bunny (a towering 6'3" athlete who can't seem to find her place in a HS setting and is hiding her rich father's alcoholism) and Michael (a semi-closeted teen coming to terms with his true identity while mostly feeling abandoned by his family because of it) and the life that unfolds throughout the way - especially once gossip about Michael changes the course of their lives in a very big way. This book was a totally raw story of friendship and identity - and the varnish of making it pretty is ripped right off. This book had very real moments of being incredibly uncomfortable, but at the same time impossible to look away from. It was certainly something different, and I can't stop thinking about it. (That and it gave me super weird dreams).
