royahellbender 's review for:
Kiss & Tell
by Adib Khorram
Thank you Penguin Teen for an arc of this book.
This is a fun yet high-stakes story of a teen in the spotlight who makes all kinds of terrible decisions because his label, manager, etc are trying to control everything he does. When even a very insignificant detail about his private life as a gay teen comes to light, it ends up changing their whole branding of him.
This book also does a great job of highlighting the differences between being gay as a cis white boy vs being a queer person of color. The main character does have a lot of awareness of that at the beginning, but he actually learns a lot more as the story goes on.
