Title: An adolescent tells a very mature, humorous yet sad story
Review: Billy is a gay Holden Caulfield for our age, in his narration style as well as personality. Though I am a straight woman, I read this book during a decision-making time of my life, and Billy's struggle with figuring out, exploring, and enjoying his own homosexuality turn out to be surprisingly applicable and encouraging to anyone coming to terms with a novel facet of their own character. The book is a good, fast read, and tells a believable story, peopled with characters one can identify with easily--or recognize!
