Review

It's hard to put into words what type of book we have in _Honestly Ben_, especially knowing its the sequel to the well-loved _Openly Straight_. Here we have a unicorn - a rare sequel that's just as good as the original, in which the reader experiences laughter and tears and a complex array of emotions in between while following Ben through his high school days. I find myself recommending this book to John Green readers who are ready for something a bit different, but with the same true-to-teens style of writing that 8th graders appreciate.

Overall Book Score: very good
