Openly Straight by Bill Konigsberg - 320 pages
Honestly Ben by Bill Konigsberg - 326 pages
These two books tell the stories of Rafe and Ben at an all boy's school and how their relationship develops over time. Rafe moves out east to the boarding school to reinvent himself so he is not the "gay" kid. He meets Ben who quickly becomes his best friend and possibly something more.
I definitely liked Honestly Ben better than the first book. I really struggled to finish Openly Straight. I just didn't care for the character of Rafe in the first book. I'm not sure that the second book would make much sense if you haven't read the first one though.
