The Vast Fields Of Ordinary.

The Vast Fields of Ordinary is about a teenage boy, who is gay, but still in the closet. The book follows him through his last summer at home. His parents are on the verge of a divorce, and he's dealing with an abusive....for lack of a better word, "boyfriend". Until he meets Lucy, a girl in the neighborhood who is also gay, and develops a crush on a mysterious boy named Alex.

I don't want to give away any spoilers, on the off chance that someone may read this and want to read the book. But I will say what I thought of it.

I enjoyed it, for the most part. It was a cute book, but I think the character sending the biggest message is his "boyfriend" Pablo. He's struggling with who he is, and who he doesn't want to be. His story is the only story to learn anything from. The other characters' lives seem to be a walk in the park if you ask me.

There's also a missing girl in the book, and I don't understand the purpose of that. I think it's supposed to stand for something, but I can't figure out what.

My biggest problem with the book, was the ending. Books rarely end the way I want them to, but this one REALLY didn't.
