In sixteen-year-old Mike Hernandez's life, only one thing is clear: Gay is NOT okay. His family's life revolves around the church, a church run by the vocally intolerant Pastor Myers, so Mike has resolved to spend his life in the closet. His only escape–besides the occasional, anonymous gay make-out session–is his art. He pours his complicated emotions into risque drawings he keeps in a secret sketchbook. A sketchbook he carries everywhere.
When his sketchbook goes missing in the middle of Sunday school, Mike is sure his life is over. He's going to be outed, ostracized by their community, condemned by the pastor, maybe even homeless. What's worse, the pastor's son, Chris, suddenly seems hell-bent on adopting Mike and his friends and he has no idea why.
When an awkward confrontation with Chris leads to an unexpected kiss instead of a much-expected punch, Mike's world is turned upside down. As their friendship grows and faith is questioned, Mike may be forced to choose between the comfortable life he's always lived and a chance at the love he never thought he deserved.

virkelig en fin bog. den skiller sig ud fra andre YA. den er rodet og smuk, og meget virkelighedstro. der er noget smukt og hårdt ved at komme videre, og så stadig være glad i enden❤️

It's surprisingly good and I'm not sure why I hadn't heard of it before or seen it as a suggestion 👀 also, one of the few books that epilogue makes even better!
