About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book would have been a 5 star review, except for the narrator. After the first few minutes I was so disappointed with the weird accent, flamboyance and tenor of the narrator’s voice I almost decided not to listen at all. However, I am glad I stuck with it, as it’s a very good story.
The book should be redone and narrated by someone else. Just sayin…….
