He thinks that this whole seminar thing will be a piece of cake, but when he meets Sebastian Brother, his mentor and Mormon prodigy, he’ll realize that things will not be as easy as he thinks.Įvery time I think about this story, I think that the best word to define it’s adorable, but also I think goes beyond a love story, because when we talk about a young man who’s trying to decipher what he feels about his sexuality and belongs to a religious family, so you know that there will be many feelings and that it will also be hard. I think it’s a very real plot, it feels like it’s something that can really happen and that’s what it is because nobody chooses who they fall in love with or who you want to love, you just do it. Autumn, his best friend, challenges him to take Provo High’s prestigious Seminar, where honor roll students diligently toil to draft a book in a semester, and he accepts only to prove to Autumn that all this isn’t big deal. In this book we follow Tanner, he’s a young man who has just moved with his family to Utah, to a town where the majority of its inhabitants are Mormon, due to this and the big change that means starting in a new school and everything, Tanner decides to keep in secret his bisexuality, even when this was never a problem for him in the past.
Seeing the characters learn and grow has been a pleasure to me, is a journey of self-discoveries, love, and friendship that you can’t miss. This story shows real issues and touches on things such as sexuality within religion and we can explore how this affects the characters. This is such a sweet and meaningful book, I really adored it and I’m very happy to have read it. “This is how we reveal ourselves: these tiny flashes of discomfort, the reactions we can’t hide.” Diversity/Representation || Queer : Bisexual & Homosexual And it takes less than a month for Tanner to fall completely in love with him.
