Chicken by Chase Night

5.0

Holy. Crap. I don't know what I was expecting when I started reading Chicken, but it blew my expectations out of the water. Chase Night masterfully captures the beauty and terror of growing up gay in a Christian community. HIs depiction of young first love is specific to these characters and yet also universal. There were times when I laughed out loud and times when I couldn't help but respond orally as I was reading (and one bout of messy messy crying).

Chicken is a genre changer for young adult fiction in general and gay representation in media in particular.

Mostly though, it's just really darn fun to read.
