A review by kelleemoye
Boyfriends with Girlfriends by Alex Sanchez

4.0

Lance is gay and has a family who accepts him for who he is. He meets Sergio and really likes him, but isn't sure if he is the right boy for him.
Sergio is bi and his mother still prays for him every night. Although Sergio likes Lance, he is still heart broken over Zelda dumping him.
Kimiko is a lesbian but hasn't yet come out to her judgmental family. She has never dated anyone, but is crushing on Allie.
Allie is confused- she has dated Chip for two years, but since meeting Kimiko, she cannot stop thinking about her.

This book is about tolerance and acceptance which is what Alex Sanchez is all about. Accepting each other and accepting our selves for who we are. Tolerating all.

Mentor Text note: This book has some great references to poetry as well as some poetry written by Kimiko.
