This is a good and easy read. The story line is familiar: a son who thinks his father doesn't understand him, a mom who bugged out early on for reasons unknown. And i'll admit there are a few plot holes-- just a few. However I think this book poses a very interesting question.

What would happen if a superhero was also gay?

So the story line is a familiar one but the twist is new. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I don't think it's gay fiction. I think it's about where and how you find your place in the world.

Worth the read.
