Negative Positive
Title: Not Appropriate
Review: The setting is a fantasy world where everyone in the high school is 100% accepting of gayness. One of the characters is a drag queen football star, for instance. However, except for a brief kiss, there is absolutely no sex. As an adult, this book was pretty boring. But I kept thinking about a gay teenager reading this and how upsetting it would be. There's no emotional truth: the kids don't want for money; they're all artistic; they speak like adults; they listen with deep empathy over herbal tea. I don't know any teens like this and it breaks my heart to imagine a gay teen reading this balderdash while all his girlfriends are going sex crazy over the Twilight books. Straight girls get sex hungry vampires and gay boys get, what, dinner and a movie?This is too light to be of interest to adults and too devoid of truth or sex to be of interest to teens.I would recommend Boys on the Rock instead.
