Her heart was in the right place but i think her book thus far has shed a very dark light on the gay community, and miscommunicates what she had intended to be a polar shift in what the hetro world did with the gays. Really? Call a 'strai' by a gayer name? What defines it as more gay? Because its female? I don't think this story was done with thought on 'the big picture'

The author over uses the! In my opinion. It makes the writing seems that despite its adult content was written for younger audiences based on the writing style. I appreciate the use of explanation through Melissa the alleged reporter. However I believe that the author could have found a more creative way to explain the world around them without having a reporter state the obvious

Interested in the story and world but I cant help but feel that its un realist. The similes are childish nearly, and the development of Todds relationship with Devon isn't believable.

Some of the dialogue seems insincere. The scene between Todd and Devon in chapter 'Dating Devon' didn't feel realistic to me. A little am-mature

A little like the handmaidens tale
