This is a plain-spoken and casual autobiography of Dennis Kasten and his journey into the world of the gay. I was most impressed by his spirit of adventure, seemingly thinking nothing of picking up stakes and moving to another part of the country. Most of those moves were successful, one was not.
He learned about love and loss, which is faced by almost everyone at one time or another. His raw reveal of his father cutting ties for a time was painful to read.
The book has a pleasing ending. I hope happiness continues for Dennis and Robb.
