Blackbird

Rating:
Summary: Great story
Review:

The protagonist is a black teen who knows that he is gay, knows that he cannot be openly gay at home or at school and basically puts his life on hold while waiting to graduate with a specialization in drama. He manages to avoid innuendos, questions and even friends' attempts to ... cure him. Then he falls in love.

I read this book over eight years ago and still remember it well enough to recall how bittersweet it is. It's definately going on my one-day-when-I-have-more-space-list. In the meantime, I recommend it to others.
