So what does a guy do when his parents divorce when he’s young and then the nurturing that he needs just isn’t there for him anymore. Well, this sensitive young man writes a zine. It’s a great way to express oneself and along the way he meets another zine writer, a young lady named Marisol. You feel the vulnerability as John meets Marisol and makes friends. Slowly, that relationship shifts for John, and he wants it to be more. Marisol is struggling with her sexuality and John asks himself some questions, too. That coming of age and finding yourself feels very authentic with all of its ambiguity and questioning. This book is a Lambda Literary Award winner. 350 pages Ages 12 and up
