Getting the Laughs: Absolutely Positively Not by David LaRochelle

I thought Absolutely Positively Not was a great book.  It was really funny without downplaying the seriousness of the main character's situation (coming out while attending high school in a small town).    It approached the topic effectively and managed to avoid predictability and cheesiness (cough - Judy Blume).  The humour made what could be an uncomfortable or embarrassing topic approachable and readable.  I thought the protagonist was realistic and charming. It's a fun read with an important message.
