This book was very easy to read. The characters fit together in the small town of Rough Butte, Montana. The main character, Ben, a high school boy, even though he was not in the best situation, meets a girl, Kimberly Johan, that really liked him. Ben has the dysfunctional family thing and the normal thing with the girlfriend, that he is trying to figure out. Ben's mom left him when he was young so he lives with his dad, Paul, and his dad's boyfriend, Edward. The controversial issue in the novel would be gay men, his father and the boyfriend. Ben deals with bullying at school, conflict in the community, and trying to stay out of serious trouble during his high school years. That was the reason why Paul and Edward came to Edward's small hometown, Rough Butte, Montana. Ben's dad wants to keep Ben from staying out of big city problems thinking, "The Beverly Hillbillies" is the place for the three of them to settle down.
