It took me three days to finish this. Mostly because I was trying to show self-restraint for once. But instead of taking it slow and reading at a leisurely pace (you know as opposed to my usual way of hungrily devouring pages at a scary rate), I just kind of avoided reading altogether. Opps.
Julian Winters's second book "How To Be Remy Cameron" is all about knowing who you are and yet really, really not knowing. It's about labels. Not necessarily accepting them. But accepting yourself despite the labels you gave yourself (and all the more labels that people gave you).
["Everyone on campus knows Remy Cameron. He's the out-and-gay, super-likable guy that people admire for his confidence. The only person who may not know Remy that well is Remy himself. So when he is assigned to write an essay describing himself, he goes on a journey to reconcile the labels that people have attached to him, and get to know the real Remy Cameron."]
The back book blurb might not say it, but there is indeed some love coming Remy's way.
Also a few spoiler alerts (for once, the book itself gave them to me/you--twice): homophobia, bullying, attempted sexual assault, alcoholism, mental illness, etc
Go, do something with your time. Read this.
Or read something and hit me up with a suggestion. ;)

I love, love, love reading about love. That is what I do best. Reading and writing about people falling in love... Here I will post reviews on books about love, about romance, about LGBTQIA. Sometimes there will be full-length, publish-worthy reviews. Sometimes the posts will be slightly this side of a literary rant. If you have any recommendations for me, please, reach out.
