Or maybe not surprisingly, considering the storyline was a queer one and it turned out the author was queer; that also might explain why overall it handled queer stuff in a casually decent way that made it stand out a bit, even though the two main characters appeared to be straight &amp; cis. Good read if you like YA contemporary stuff in general; it also reminded me a bit in tone of <em>Going Bovine</em> but less fantastical.&nbsp;<br /><br />Currently I got my hands on<em> The Bear and the Nightingale</em> and <em>Ace of Shades</em>, and am currently deciding which to read next. Further bulletins as events warrant.&nbsp;<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=gloriousmonsters&ditemid=817" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
