Loving Jay by Renae Kaye
3.0
3,5 stars.
I heard this was Renae Kaye debut and I think she did splendidly. I really love how she explores the theme of sexuality in this era where articles and opinions about sexual minority were there in the air and how internalized or externalized homophobia handled in this society now. She did it good, though I thought some parts could be like too good to be true and/or playing stereotypes, but the message was delivered nicely--and humorously.
I listen to the audiobook version, tho. I'd say that I don't quite enjoy the narrator. I have audiobook pet peeves, the "gasping sound", and this one got it. I prefer my audiobook to be delivered as clear as possible. And the reading is also a bit too dramatic for my taste. So... yeah.
