The Evolution of Jeremy Warsh by Jess Moore
4.0
The Evolution of Jeremy Warsh, published by the SunFire imprint of renowned LGBTQIA+ romance specialists NineStar Press, is yet another slam dunk of a novel. I am a big believer in having diverse characters in books as they should be representative of the different types of people in society, but we often do not get what we desire and believe to be right. This novel combines an inspirational and engaging plot with proficient writing and characters I fell in love with. I could particularly relate to Jeremy given that I am also an introvert. He isn't happy with his life but doesn't know how to change it for the better. When his friend Kasey comes out, this inspires Jeremy to be a go-getter and live his life the way he wants to.
It is clear our main character has been questioning his sexuality for quite some time, but by the conclusion of the novel will he have the courage to face up to the truth? This is a fantastic story that all those finding it difficult to accept their sexuality will appreciate, although there is prior warning for underage marijuana and alcohol use and also bullying behaviour. A young adult, coming-of-age novel which explores themes of identity, friendship, sexuality, mental health and love. Jeremy had plenty of support from his mother and friends - if only every youngster struggling to find themselves had this support. I have a family member who is actually homophobic and refuses to talk to his son because he has a friendship with a gay guy, there is nothing that makes me more inclined to disassociate myself from someone than prejudice and discrimination on their part. These people will always exist but they aren't worth worrying about. Moral of the story - live your life and be your unapologetic self regardless.
Many thanks to NineStar Press for an ARC.
