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.
