G for gay and grandma friendly
I love when audiobooks for a book told from two perspectives have completely different narrators who can bring each part of the story to life.
Tammy and Sharon are pen pals in the 1970s. Sharon lives in San Francisco where she helps her brother hide the fact that he's gay. Tammy lives in Orange County, California close to her family's megachurch so she must hide the fact that she's gay. As they strike up a friendship through their letters, they must figure out what they're willing to take a stand on.
The epistle style letters in this book was such an interesting way to tell this story. I loved seeing Tammy and Sharon grow and change throughout this story through these letters. I loved how smart both characters were as they figured out not to just believe everything adults tell you and to stand up for themselves. The one downside was that the pacing overall for this book due to the epistle style was a little off and the ending felt pretty rushed.
But the story told was excellent and important. If you like the story of Harvey Milk and young adult fiction, then I would recommend it.
