New YA Book: The Before Now and the After Then by Peter Monn

[Brent]

Interesting new YA book, which I liked, about a gay kid whose twin (perfect and straight) dies. It's about the aftermath. I thought it worked because so many gay guys feel they have (a) a perfect straight brother they can't live up to or (b) an idealized straight version of themselves that their parents wish they had instead.

Check it out.
