I am really glad that there is literature available to young people that speak to the young gay audience. This was a good podcast!
Hey, thanks for having this podcast. I grew up on gay teen literature. My favorite book is “Almost like being in Love” by Steve Kluger. If you haven’t read it, you should. Its entirely told in memos and letters and its so funny and sweet. After reading it back in high school I went and e-mailed the author and asked “Does love get easier when you’re older?” and he replied “No, it doesn’t” or something like that.
I wonder if I still have the e-mail.
Geography Club was a good book too. And Mr. Sanchez’s books were pretty good too. The public libraries need to have more of these books because for high school students like I was, going out and buying these books were almost impossible (money, transportation, privacy, etc).
