quirkybibliophile 's review for:
The Stone Rainbow
by Liane Shaw
Thank You to Liane Shaw and Second Story Press for an Advanced Reader Copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
I was drawn to this book due to the colorful cover page because it shouted LGBTQ+ to me so I knew I wanted to read it. After getting a chance to read the short description about this book I knew I wanted a chance to read it. I always attempt to read all YA books that have LGBTQ+ themes so I was happy to get a chance to read this book.
The Stone Rainbow is about Jack who is a teenager living in a small town who is in the middle of coming out to those closest to him. Jack becomes the center of attention for everyone in the small town of Thomas Mills after he wanders too far into the river while not knowing how to swim. Early on in the book Jack encounters a new students,Benjamin,who just happens to be gay and develops an instant crush on him. Through the rest of the story Jack relieves moments of his life that are part of his coming out story and continues discovering who he is and who he wants to be in the eyes of others.
