Different for boys is an honest depiction of the awkward teenage years as friends hormonal desires kick in and relationships develop and fray. Brutally sincere and engaging, Ness has created a stunning portrayal of coming to terms with your sexuality in all its messiness. Issues of homophobia, toxic masculinity and untapped anger are all dealt with in a realistic way.
The illustrations are very much the story echoing the bewildering and disconcerting nature of exposing your true identity to those closest to you.
