The Perfect Family is a contemporary book about 
discrimination against homosexuals.  Jamie, a sophomore in 
high school, has been struggling with the idea that he 
might not be attracted to women. He is very timid at 
first, but soon finds he is not the only one. Luke, a 
classic sophomore jock, has also been struggling with this 
problem, and they find relief in each other.  When they 
come out to public things aren't as great as the boys had 
hoped. Luke's parents blame it on Jamie and hate 
everything about Luke's homosexual feelings. Jamie is 
having a lot of the same problems with his family. His 
brother Brian is struggling immensely at school because of 
it. Jamie's father struggles with questions about 
religion. And his mother struggles to keep it all together.
 

Opinion: 

I really enjoyed this book. I don't really enjoy the 
topic, but this book was a page turner.  I couldn't put it 
down. And I would recommend it to anyone interested in the 
subject. It pointed out many different viewpoints.
