by Alex Sanchez
For the most part, Boyfriends with Girlfriends was a pretty decent read. There was just one major thing that severely lessened my enjoyment of the book and I am going to address that first. Lance really bothered me. Initially, he is very biphobic and I hated him for it. "My main worry is the bi ...
I am barely 50 pages into this book, and I hate it. The Japanese fetishism is so, so gross and it's everywhere. I'm going to finish reading it to see if it gets better.

The problem with this book is all it does is push a lifestyle. I am greatly encouraged by the idea that someone would take the time to write a book for bi-sexual teens, as I'm sure there are a lot of confused teens out there trying to understand themselves.Unfortunately, this book is poorly written...
I think I would have really liked this when I was a teen. As a staid old self-accepting grownup, though, the constant drama of this book was wearying. Angst cubed is too much.

He not only addresses the concepts of homosexual and straight, but also tackles the much debated idea of being bi-sexual...
couldn't get into this one, will try again later.
