This was the first book I read by Jennifer Lavoie which I came across on NetGalley.

Andy and Andy, i.e. Andrew and Andrea are fraternal twins who tell each other everything. At least that is what Andrea always thought. That is until a new comer moves to town and joins them at their local, small town, high school. Then the world Andrew and Andrea lived in is turned on it's head and will never be the same again. Andrew comes to the realization that he is gay.

Jennifer Lavoie manages to capture the voice of teens in a small town who have little exposure to people who are different. By different that could mean someone of color, someone bisexual and/or gay just to give you an idea. Change doesn't alwasy come easy for people, even for those we love the most.

In this novel, the author paints a very realistic picture of what it is like for Andy to live with his secret. What ultimatly happens as a result of keeping that secret hidden from his twin sister, his family and friends?

Everyone can relate to this story whether you're gay, straight or transgender. For teens struggling with their identity, they will be able to relate to Andrew and his struggles to fit in. For the friends, classmates, commumity members, teachers, etc of the world. Read this and maybe you will have a little bit more compassion and understand for those that are different from you. Understand that different is not bad.
