Different Kinds of Fruit by Kyle Lukoff
Did not finish book. Stopped at 38%.
The main character reads as a first grader, not a sixth grader. They’re all super progressive except for one kid who has to always be bringing up men’s rights and white history for some reason. Why would that kids parents put him in a school where they obviously don’t agree with the parents beliefs? Annabelle is way too childish, Bailey is way too grown up, and everyone is annoying. Everyone talks so unnaturally. I am a queer woman and wouldn’t talk about these issues this way with my kid until they were in high school at least.
The only interesting part I found was the discussion of distrust and hostility between trans people and non-binary people. That’s something I rarely see talked about and I don’t know of any adult fiction novel that discusses it. I am very surprised by the inclusion of this, though semi-not due to how adult these conversations became.
