Arthur and Teddy Are Coming Out by Ryan Love
lighthearted
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
3.0
Arthur gets out of the closet at age 79, and his daughter doesn't take it so well... Which puts Teddy (Arthur's grandson) in an awkward position, as he's also gay and hasn't told his mum yet.
The story has a cute start, it's cool to see an elderly person coming out of the closet and telling their story, but the book didn't have a strong story and the everything turns boring very early, in my opinion. I didn't care much about any of the characters and their dramas.
The book is not YA as far as I know, but the story is so simple, it may as well be. There's no explicit sex.
TW: suicide
The two narrators of the audiobook are ok, but also not so great IMO.
