RATING: 5 STARS
{Young Adult; No Spoilers}
Autoboyography isn’t just a young adult novel. It’s a necessity.
This novel hit a particularly sharp cord with me because I watch kids navigate a very delicate time in their lives every day. They’re figuring out who they are, who they like, and the person under the surface. It’s novels like this and other diverse young adult lit that are helping under-represented kids see themselves in stories that are relevant to them and help them through their feelings, hardships, and give them confidence.
How do you come to terms with your first love while you’re still accepting who you truly are? How can parents balance their protective nature with learning to let their kids grow and change or even learn to accept their kids for who they are? Can I have a happily ever after, too?
Tanner and Sebastian’s story will resonate with everyone who reads it, and you can absolutely bet this quote will end up on my wall somewhere, too.
You are an exceptional human, with depth and heart. Don’t let anyone–or anything–dim that light inside you.
Three years ago, Tanner Scott’s family relocated from California to Utah, a move that nudged the bisexual teen temporarily back into the closet. Now, with one semester of high school to go, and no obstacles between him and out-of-state college freedom, Tanner plans to coast through his remaining classes and clear out of Utah.
But when his best friend Autumn dares him to take Provo High’s prestigious Seminar—where honor roll students diligently toil to draft a book in a semester—Tanner can’t resist going against his better judgment and having a go, if only to prove to Autumn how silly the whole thing is. Writing a book in four months sounds simple. Four months is an eternity.
It turns out, Tanner is only partly right: four months is a long time. After all, it takes only one second for him to notice Sebastian Brother, the Mormon prodigy who sold his own Seminar novel the year before and who now mentors the class. And it takes less than a month for Tanner to fall completely in love with him.
Thank you so much to Simon & Schuster for the advanced copy of this novel.
