When Ben Campell was fourteen years old, his father made an announcement. He called it coming out. Ben called it selfishly blowing apart the family without stopping to think about anyone else. Its true: After 17-year-old Bens father announces hes gay and the family splits apart, Ben does everything he can to tick him off: skip school, smoke pot, skateboard nonstop, get arrested. But he never thinks hell end up yanked out of his city life and plunked down into a small Montana town with his dad and Edward, The Boyfriend. As if its not painful enough living in a hick town with spiked hair, a skateboard habit, and two dads, he soon realizes somethings not quite right with Billy, the boy next door. Hes hiding a secret about his family, and Ben is determined to uncover it and set things right. In an authentic, unaffected, and mordantly funny voice, Michael Harmon tells the wrenching story of an uprooted and uncomfortable teenaged guy trying to fix the lives around him-while figuring out his own.
