Notes
I really liked this story of a boy's self realization and evolving sexual awareness without the annoying excessive angst and drama that story-tellers seem to love. Not that there isn't drama, but it's the drama of a teenager growing up and interacting with other teenages. It is a story I'm likely to revisit.
