Jack of Hearts by L.C. Rosen
4.0
I received an advanced reading copy of this book.
If you are expecting another Love Simon, please change your expectations. There is no sweet romance and falling in love for jack in this book. It is like the Puberty Blues and Judy Blume’s Forever for today’s modern teen.
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I read the blurb for this book. What I got was more. Jack is so comfortable with himself and his sexuality that it is like a breath of fresh air. He becomes the Dear Abby of his high school and has some really great advice for teens, gay, straight and anything in between.
Similar to Simon, Jack has a secret admirer but his quickly turns into a case of stalking and turns a little dangerous. This book is great for discussions about bullying and what it can look like.
Jack’s two best friends love him and try their hardest to help him, whilst also encouraging him to be the best Jack he can be. It is a really nice friendship.
I would recommend this book to young adults 14+ as there is a lot of language and sex talk within the pages.
