Debbie Harry Sings in French by Meagan Brothers

4.0

Johnny has had a bit of a rough life. One day, he's introduced to the music of Blondie and their lead singer, Debbie Harry. And, though he can't explain it, he kinda wants to be just like her. But he doesn't think he's gay. So what does this mean? And what should he tell his brand new girlfriend?

I'm an ally so I have a huge soft spot for YA literature dealing with sexuality. I think it's incredibly important to provide these kinds of books for teens. This one was particularly enjoyable. It was well-written and the plot was well-paced. I really liked all the characters; they were believable and interesting. And I really loved that this dealt with transvestism instead of just homosexuality - I think all topics should be covered. Quite enjoyable. I wish it hadn't ended.
