I've read several Bromance Novels by Michael Thomas Ford and having
liked them was looking for more of the same. This emphatically isn't.
Jeff is in the Psych Ward on a 45 day hold after slitting his wrists.
The novel is his daily journal describing the hospital experience.
Details emerge as he comes to terms with his demons. Love that he
nicknames his shrink Cat Poop and criticizes his fashion sense.
What follows could be spoiler material
No mystery that a gay writer talks about a gay teen. In dealing with
this aspect of oneself a gay person must come out to himself first of
all and then to the world around him. One of the most stressful
aspects can be coming out to one's parents. Often those around one
knows these things about one long before the individual admits them
to himself. The most loving response I've read about a Mother's
reaction was one who told her son that she was glad he'd finally
figured it out, she'd know since he was eight.
