Openly Straight by Bill Konigsberg
1.0

No HEA means it’s not a romance, so don’t label it as such. I’m so mad I broke my not reading books by men rule for this book. It drew me in with queer teens and I felt it was a total bait and switch. The more I read it the more I didn’t like it. The strait boys were awful which only served to remind me why I do not enjoy the company of straight white males. To bring in a POC and then have them disappear part way through was just annoying and felt like fake representation. I have strong issues with books that use the R word and other similar epithets and book had plenty of them. I need to read Autoboyography again to cleanse myself of this.
