Drag Teen is one of those books that breaks the mold. I rated it at a 3.5 because the pacing could have been a bit better and some bits of the drag queen drama may have been a bit over-cliched for me. There was a little too much playing up of the hot gay guy versus the not so hot gay guy kind of situation for my liking and I wish that the author would have spent a bit more focusing on the inner beauty of it all because to me, that was the message that they were trying to get across.
Some of the characters were wonderfully developed, while others fell a little flat for me. While I loved the main character, JT, Seth kind of irritated me, but I can't get into why without giving away plot points, so you will have to read, and then after you have, come back here and we can discuss my irritation with his main character flaws of hypocrisy.
In general, this was an interesting and fairly quick read that I was glad that I had the opportunity to give a try. I am glad to see authors stepping outside of the box and giving us something that will allow the youth of today a chance to connect with what is really in their hearts. We all need books that we can relate to, and there needs to be more of that in the fiction market.
What other areas of diversity do you think need to get more attention in fiction?… (meer)
