janpd24 's review for:
Me, My Dad and the End of the Rainbow
by Benjamin Dean
2.5 stars
I really wanted to like this book, especially because of Black gay character, but it dragged so much that I had to give up. Difficult to imagine a middle-grade reader being able to sit through it. Nothing much happens plot-wise, and even though you feel for the protagonist, it's difficult to stay invested. Dean is a good writer, no doubt, and a story about a young child finding out one of their parents is gay, and coming to terms with it is a fantastic premise, but it just did not hold my interest.
