A review by chrisvigilante
Money Boy by Paul Yee

3.0

This book takes place over the course of just seven days of Ray's life. We see him get kicked out for being gay and we see him become a male escort for a time. The biggest problem I had with this was the pacing. It didn't really work for me. I also felt like the issues could have been gone into more thoroughly.It talks about coming out, homelessness, and immigration.
The main character Ray is also just too aloof. He is kicked out of his house and doesn't ever seem to understand the severity of his situation. No matter the many bad things that happen to him.

I did like the ending though. It felt really hopeful. I just felt like there could have been so much more.
