Kiss Number 8
by Colleen AF Venable
YES!! Yes, to everything in this book. This perfectly captures the struggle of dealing with your sexuality and the high school culture of the early 2000's. It also does a great job of showcasing the type of homophobia and transphobia during that period of time. Also, I love how the illustrator and writer display how people obfuscate the truth to fit their own narrative. Although the book doesn't describe where this is taking place, it had a very Mid-Western feel to me. However, it could just me projecting. The ending gave me goosebumps! This book truly resonated with me.
**There is a character Gertie who is makes me so happy and although she is barely in the story, she is unforgettable.
