Jem has always been madly in love with the boy next door. Unfortunately, while Kai is his best friend, she’s not the girl for him. In fact, there is no girl for him – Kai is gay. Jem is one of the only people who knows this, though, until he’s cruelly outed online by someone anonymous. When Kai can’t live with people's reaction to his outing, and kills himself, Jem resolves to find out who was responsible, and bring them down.
Overall, I didn't think this was quite as brilliant as [[Torn by Cat Clarke|Torn]], which I absolutely loved, but it's still a very good read which is a definite recommendation for fans of gritty contemporary stories.
If you like this I think you'll definitely enjoy Cat's own [[Torn by Cat Clarke|Torn]]. For another gripping look at how a teen's suicide affects those around them, don't miss [[Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher]]. You might also appreciate [[Rory's Boys by Alan Clark]]. {{amazontext|amazon=1780870450}}{{amazonUStext|amazon=B009P1WDYG}}
