Ok. This book is starting to lose me. It doesn't make sense that someone who Wes has described as saying homophobic things and quite literally almost blew up on a stanger for daring to wear nail polish... as a boy (Gasp) can all of a sudden have a rational conversation with their friend regarding their sexuality. Huh?!I get Nerada wanted this book to have a happy ending but the math gotta add up.

I wasnt expecting this book to be so cute! I am loving everything that's happening. Will this actually be my first five star read of the year? :p

I

Wanted to read a few pages before I had to go to work (Yeah I have to work on Christmas Eve. That sucks)

Omg. The audacity of men I swear. I was punching the air and had to put the book away for a bit. This book is so damn juicy. I love it!

Whoops, it's actually An Education in Malice. However, my point still stands

I'm liking it so far. It's really sensual, thanks in large part to the writing. I'm already liking it more then Education of Malice

Im DNF. It's not grabbing my attention nor interesting me in any way. Finding something else to read

This was quite a hard chapter to get through. I almost cried, but I held through. The message towards the end of the chapter was beautiful.

Damn. This chapter is getting really unnerving. This is a real experience, describing a family member taking advantage of them. It's making my skin crawl, but that's the point. I and others who are reading this as adults know how disturbing this is, but poor George is a young boy. He has a feeling that what's happening to him is not ok. However, his abuser uses George's lack of experience to his own gratification.

This book is getting me so emotional. I haven't cried, but it's tugging on the strings inside my heart.

"Symbolism is a threat to actual change - it's a chance for those in power to say, "Look how far you have come." rather than admitting, "Look how long we've stopped you from getting here.""

Page 74 "Homophobia denies queer people happiness. I imagine there are a lot of queer people who would love to play sports or do traditionally 'masculine' activities, but they hold themselves back based on the fear of interacting with people they can't trust. People who have made it very clear that queer people unwelcomed despite the fact they have talent."
