If it's possible to be laughing and crying in the same moment, this book will do it to you.
Ben's dad decided after close to 20 years of marriage and raising 17 year old Ben, that he is gay.
Ben's mom skips town.
Ben's dad's boyfriend, Edward, moves in with them.
What's a guy to do? He skips school, skateboards constantly, smokes pot, and is generally a pain in his Dad's butt. I mean, what can Dad do?
What Dad and Edward do is up-root Ben from his urban lifestyle and move him to Edward's Mom's house in a tiny hick town in Montana. It's pretty tough being a spiked-hair skateboarder in rural Montana, but it's even harder when you get involved in the kid next-door's business...business that the kid's dad doesn't want Ben in.
Laugh out loud funny. Powerful characters. GREAT book!
