All in all, Jesus fucking Christ Gretchen is 18 and has experienced a shitton of homophobia in her life can we all just be a little less shitty to her thanks. it was perfect for a summer afternoon, and it is so encouraging to see such good queer/bi representation in YA nowadays! Of course, the more time Imogen spends with chaotic, freckle-faced Tessa, the more she starts to wonder if her truth was ever all that straight to begin with. And with the disaster of Imogen's second 'best friend' Gretchen (Lilli was first best friend), I ended up not liking most of the crowd.
In a social media graphic for the book, the author describes Imogen as having "queer discourse brainworms", which is a good way to put it. There is an author’s note at the start of this book from Becky that I think everyone needs to make sure they read before starting the novel – it is important. And in 2019, Moud is openly gay, heading to Tehran with his father Saeed to visit his dying grandfather. The sensational new novel from Becky Albertalli, best-selling author of Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda.
I cross her room for a closer look, smiling at the lineup: My family’s barn at sunset, Penn Yan’s Main Street, a double rainbow over Keuka Lake.
about love and doubt and fear, about fluidity and uncertainty and allowing yourself the space to simply exist. The only reason she's even in Hillwoods is because her grandmother is dying, which hardly makes for a lighthearted trip. Imogen Scott may be hopelessly heterosexual, but she’s got the World’s Greatest Ally title locked down. She is also a member of the Television Critics Association and the Latino Entertainment Journalists Association.
M” or the initials of whoever else is writing, even if the same person sent a string of 5 messages in a row, they’d say it before every one, and it absolutely drove me up the wall.
With a character that not only mirrors Albertalli’s experiences surrounding sexuality and coming out, this story also dives head first into the issues of biphobia, gatekeeping, and the fraught discourse that still surrounds coming out. For all ebook purchases, you will be prompted to create an account or login with your existing HarperCollins username and password. it has its cute moments, for sure, but those moments are unfortunately overshadowed by the sheer inconsistency of it all. Even though I haven't read other books by Alberalli, I know that this book was a personal subject to her.
it’s a self battle, and even though we as the reader know imogen will get that clarity she has been looking for, there’s pressure, anxiety, and the uncertainty of taking other people’s spaces. Soccer is everything to Valentina Castillo-Green, so when a fight with longtime rival Leticia Ortiz leads to her team losing not just the game, but also respect from her teammates and chances with college recruiters, it’s devastating. Which, hey, this is another recent YA read that is actually in the imminently-leaving-for-college and early-days-college stage and can I say? her adhd mind spirals a lot and boats out random things, making reading the text messages very entertaining.
