Star quarterback Bobby Framingham, one of the most talented high school football players in California, knows he's different from his teammates. They're like brothers, but they don't know one essential thing: Bobby is gay. Can he still be one of the guys and be honest about who he is? When he's outed against his will by a student reporter, Bobby must find a way to earn back his teammates' trust and accept that his path to success might be more public, and more difficult, than he'd hoped. An affecting novel about identity that also delivers great sportswriting.

This was okay. I liked it because Bill Konigsberg is an actual gay man who worked in sports, so these interactions feel more authentic than when they're written by straight women. So I did like that.
But by the end, I was just kind of bored. I also had mixed feelings about Bryan. He came off a little creepy to me at first?? But then it was cute when he said he was going to interview Bobby and then basically took him on a date. BUT. Everyone needs to know. If someone tells you they love you and you're not ready to say it yet, YOU ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO. And they shouldn't expect you to say it right after they do because they said it. That's not how it works.
