So when the bulk of a novel is the MC not so subtly tryg to nvce another character to be out and proud a highly relig school, the 80’s, where he is already harassed for beg prumed gay, I wonr whether the thor missed the thread somewhere along the way.
A gay, YA twist on. And while his mother is fully supportive of his beg gay, she worri about him makg a big issue of this at school bee when she was a stunt there, Chaz, a gay classmate, was found ad on the night of the the stunt-body print and a favore of many of the faculty, Luis thks he might be able to fd a way to trick the school to allowg same-sex upl to go to prom. The amount of tryg to throw slang and media referenc ma me MC is so annoyg I uldn’t stand readg his perspectiveThe ncln felt lazy, like oh everythg is perfect now and homophobia is ad HURRAYReally?
