Praise for Openly Straight : Winner of the Sid Fleischman Award for Humor YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults Selection Lambda Literary Award Finalist "Konigsberg's lovely novel invites us to walk with Rafe through his season of assumed identity and his costly emergence into honesty.

It's a story of salvation." -- The New York Times Book Review * "Lambda Literary Award-winner Konigsberg has written an exceptionally intelligent, thought-provoking, coming-of-age novel about the labels people apply to us and that we, perversely, apply to ourselves...

Synopsis
The award-winning novel about being out, being proud, and being ready for something else. Rafe is a normal teenager from Boulder, Colorado. He plays soccer. He's won skiing prizes. He likes to write. And, oh yeah, he's gay. He's been out since 8th grade, and he isn't teased, and he goes to other high schools and talks about tolerance and stuff. And while that's important, all Rafe really wants is to just be a regular guy. Not that GAY guy. To have it be a part of who he is, but not the headline, every single time. So when he transfers to an all-boys' boarding school in New England, he decides to keep his sexuality a secret -- not so much going back in the closet as starting over with a clean slate. But then he sees a classmate breaking down. He meets a teacher who challenges him to write his story. And most of all, he falls in love with Ben... who doesn't even know that love is possible., The award-winning novel about being out, being proud, and being ready for something else... now in paperback.

- 3***u (107)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseQuick delivery in four days. Large quantity of books were professionally packaged in a sturdy, padded box. All books arrived in Very Good condition as advertised. Good communication from merchant. Solid transaction overall. A+. Buy with confidence.
- s***e (742)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExcellent transaction, shipped promptly. All discs are in great shape. One interesting sidenote is that eBay incorrectly labeled the package as Delivered, when in fact it was still being processed. (At some point it went from Out for Delivery to being in another city about an hour away.) Prematurely designating a shipment as Delivered caused a lot of confusion. The person I spoke to at eBay didn't seem to get it. EBay needs to upgrade their code to more accurately reflect shipment status.
