Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

The author of OPENLY STRAIGHT returns with an epic road trip involving family history, gay history, the girlfriend our hero can't have, the grandfather he never knew, and the Porcupine of Truth. Carson Smith is resigned to spending his summer in Billings, Montana, helping his mom take care of his father, a dying alcoholic he doesn't really know. Then he meets Aisha Stinson, a beautiful girl who has run away from her difficult family, and Pastor John Logan, who's long held a secret regarding Carson's grandfather, who disappeared without warning or explanation thirty years before. Together, Carson and Aisha embark on an epic road trip to find the answers that might save Carson's dad, restore his fragmented family, and discover the "Porcupine of Truth" in all of their lives.

    I have a lot of mixed feelings about this. I feel like I would have liked this more if I had listened to an audiobook. (For some reason, this book doesn't have an audiobook??) I just have a hard time reading books these days. I feel like it has to be romance or something to keep me turning pages. But by the time I got to the end of this book, I did end up really enjoying the ending even though it was kind of a struggle to get through.
