Easily My New Favorite Book

I've been purchasing many LGBT+ books to read because I want to write LGBT books myself and this books took me through so many ups and downs, at one point, my emotions were so caught up in the book I almost threw it out a window of a two-story building but didn't because I needed to continue reading. Bill Konigsberg, as well as David Levithan, have both captured my heart with their storytelling, but if someone ever asks me who my favorite author and book is, I'll say Openly Straight by Bill Konigsberg (I haven't read the sequel yet, very excited to)
