Small Town Pride by Phil Stamper
5.0
I've been reading a few middle-grade books this month and this was the first (of potentially many to come, lol)
I actually really loved this book!! I feel like often contemporary lgbtq books focus a lot on coming out or feeling like you're alone, and while this book does heavily touch on this, the difference (and thing I loved) was the support Jake gets from his family 😭 ❤️ Unconditional family support is so rare in the books I've read and it was just so nice to see that here. The love and support that Jake feels makes him want to reach even higher and he decides to organize his town's first pride march. That's when things get heavy and friendships are tested. Def a rec!
