The Evolution of Jeremy Warsh by Jess Moore
4.0
I received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Set in the late 90's, the Evolution of Jeremy Warsh is a coming of age (and out) story. After reading the blurb and seeing the cover I had expected this book to be just another typical YA coming out story, but it surprised me. Jeremy never had a massive freak out about being gay, nor did his friends and his mum, which was refreshing. His two best friends, Kacey and Stu, were always supportive and solid friends. It was nice having a YA coming of age story where there was no angst/communication drama between Jeremy and his friends or his love interest.
The love interest subplot was a minor part of the book, which focused more on the development of Jeremy himself and his relationships with his friends and mum. I loved how supportive Jeremy's mum was, which was a nice contrast to Kacey's story line, which broke my heart. This managed to be both a heavy and yet fun story, and I would do anything for Jeremy.
