GAY LOVE AND OTHER FAIRY TAL

Gay Love and Other Fairy Tal was not all I hoped would be. M-m8 reviews1 followerSeptember 16, 2018When I sat down to read Gay Love and Other Fairy Tal, I was unable to put the book down due to the thor's strong narrative, the three-dimensnal characters, and the plot surroundg two high school senrs who are gay. I am pecially pleased that this book avoid the "bury your gays" trope which I fd a plethora of when readg this genre.

WHY THIS CHARMG GAY FAIRYTALE HAS BEEN LOST FOR 200 YEARS

Y, beats out "Love, Simon" for me and I absolutely loved that book and did I enjoy "Gay Love and Other Fairy Tal" so much? Hontly speakg, this is the exact kd of story we need to see more of both prt, movi, and televisn I had the power btowed upon me, I would see "Gay Love and Other Fairy Tal" adapted to a televisn seri.

?Author 3 books19 followersAugt 16, 2022A betifully wrten gay YA love storyI enjoyed everythg about this book. Posive stori focg on young gay characters are important, and helps when the stori are tertg, clive and pellg, which is the se here.

We all have different experienc as queer people and I feel the need to list the thgs bee some of uld make other queer people unfortable or trigger old memori and I don’t see some of mentned the ia of Gay Love and Other Fairy Tal was nice when scribed by a few tweets on Twter and an okay synopsis. I thought one out gay kid tryg to help another, closeted, gay kid bee fortable wh who they are over a wter break sound like a cute but still slightly ep story, and uld be, but not the way this one was start, I would like to addrs the unnecsary over e of the F word that rhym wh hag. It was jt tossed around too loosely for while I don’t md the gay stereotype stori, bee there are actual people who are like that, I do feel the need to put out there that this book has a lot of gay stereotype stuff gog on for those who don’t like to read books wh those them.

'PRCE & KNIGHT' PUTS A GAY-INCLIVE TWIST ON TRADNAL FAIRY TAL

So if you’re lookg for a book that’s not the gay stereotype, this one isn’t . You get one brief ment about one of the ma character’s havg brown sk and bis the other ma character on the ver, I lerally have no ia what the characters look like and I dnfed at about 60 also leads me to the fact that the thor is whe and wrg the stggl of ternalized homophobia and not g out bee of a homophobic fay of a character that is scribed as havg brown sk.

It’s totally fe to wre about a character who says that though, bee there are gay people who do, but I leave that here bee I am not okay wh and I know some people may be triggered by or be unfortable readg beyond that one scene, I feel I wouldn’t be brgg the full ntext to the table to list the other problems I had om the quick skim I did of the rt of the that’s why I dnfed. That beg said, I thk the book did a solid portrayal of what beg gay is like high school. I should give three stars, bee the book is good but not "great", but at the same time I'll give four bee 's good approach to gay 16 books52 followersAugt 6, 2020I picked this up on a Smashwords sale - so glad I did, this was fely a good read.

GAY LOVE AND OTHER FAIRY TAL

Jordan is and out-and-still-navigatg-the-waters gay kid his senr year of high school, wh super supportive fay and iends on his si and a more or ls acceptg school muny. Throw a fairy-tale prom, a stupid high school prank volvg hot dogs (which is really the only overt homophobia the book, apart om disapprovg background parents beg disapprovg the background), and make-out ssns at a picturque pot, and you've got yourself a classic YA teenage high school romance.

The two ma narrators and characters are both gay, but both live very different liv of a gay teenager. Right om the start the wrg felt like the work of a reasonably talented high school stunt, wh every emotn refully explited rather than shown, and dialogue that belonged an after-school special (if they did after school specials on gay romance). A ltle angsty but that’s teen life for uld easily be ma to a gay rom , and why not.
