What I'm reading: So hard to say

From Alex Sanchez's So Hard to Say:

Similar to his Rainbow series, the story is told from multiple points of view, this time two main characters Frederick and Xio. The story details Frederick's transition to a new high school and new understanding of his sexuality. Sanchez did a good job of capturing the eighth grade persona - the issue is as much how do I tell someone I don't like them like them as it is sexual orientation.

As many other stories in this genre, So Hard to Say points out the unfortunate reality that out gay kids are picked on. Nice.
