Summaries

Jack (Anton Yelchin) is busy with adolescence when he realizes his parents are divorcing and even worse, his dad is gay. After some bittersweet experiences, Jack learns no family is perfect, but his own is more caring, supportive, and stronger than he knew.

Jack (Anton Yelchin), in full puberty, not only has to deal with his parents' divorce, but also feels his world is falling apart when his dad tells him he is living with a man. He slowly comes to terms with his own feelings when the girl on whom he has a crush turns out to have a gay dad as well, and his best friend's parents end up not having the perfect marriage Jack thought they had.—Frances Joan
