And inevitably Daniel had to make the decision about what was important to him. I really appreciated the struggles he went through with his parents, and that the author showed that just because they were homophobic didn’t mean they didn’t have great qualities. I’m not entirely sure I buy into that, but I can’t completely convince myself that it couldn’t happen with the way he was brought up…that he would somehow assume that gay relationships would work any other way than every other romantic relationship. It was so odd that he felt so unsure about how relationships worked. It wasn’t the sex naivete that threw me off, I totally got that and thought it was handled really well. I could really feel his panic and worry about not knowing what to do. A virgin in SO MANY ways, occasionally his naivete would make me a bit skeptical, but at other times I felt like it was intriguing and refreshing. You have Daniel, shy, sweet, and incredibly naive. This book dealt with a crapload of odd and intriguing issues. But I think the things I enjoyed outweighed my nitpicks this time so I’m totally rounding up. I just knew there was another part of me that was hankering for a bit more. And not necessarily in a bad way, there was so much I genuinely enjoyed. I honestly finished it and was just completely uncertain how I felt.

I have lots of mixed feelings about this one.
