Dennis's Reviews > Golden Boys

GOLDEN Thank you @bloomsburyya for this gifted copy of Golden Boys, releasing February 2022!⁣
⁣
This coming of age story features four overachieving gay sixteen year olds—all taking a summer to explore opportunities for their future—while also coming to terms with who they are. I don’t normally read YA books, but when I do, they are usually this genre. I definitely think Golden Boys should be a book in high school libraries and on their summer reading lists—it’s safe and not explicit so educators and parents can relax, while it also doesn’t pretend that sex doesn’t exist. Books like Golden Boys would’ve been so important for me to read as a kid—I wish we had them in my library growing up. This book would be perfect for any teenager, especially one who doesn’t identify as straight.
