To continue with my Pride Month Reads, which showcases LGBTQ books and themes. I just wanted to bring some attention to some young adult books that I read. So this will dictated to those teens and young adults, who even in such an open world still feels rejection, unloved ,and unseen. I want you to know that you are seen, you are loved, and most of all you are accepted.
Synopsis:
Billy Bloom is gay, but it's mostly theoretical, as he hasn't had much experience. When he has to move to Florida, he can't believe his bad luck. His new school is a mix of bible belles, amber zombies, and football heroes -- none of which are exactly his type.
Billy's efforts to fit in and stand out at the same time are both hilarious and heart warming. In this novel from adult author and media personality James St. James, readers are in for a wild ride as he tells Billy's fascinating story of bravado, pain, and unexpected love, inspired by his own experiences.
Love it!!! I definitely loved every moment of this. Freak show reminded me of my friends and I in high school living our blessed POC cis and queer lives. There were moments when I was like " Oh! I did the same thing!" Ha!. And being in drama did not help because everything and everywhere is a stage. This book brought me so much joy and laughter.
And as always Happy Reading!!!
