An actual genderfluid character (even though Chance was reluctant to put himself in that box) and YA too. I really appreciated the struggle Chance had of trying to decide where he fit in the spectrum. But his struggles don't over shadow (or excuse) the fact that Chance is very often self-absorbed (he's a teenager, after all) to the point where he almost tipped over into irredeemable, but luckily this was tempered with moments of kindness that had me rooting for him all over again. Jasper is a sweetheart, and a nice contrast to Chance. The story idea has probably been done before and I could have told Chance it wouldn't work from the beginning. In fact there were moments when I suffered some serious second hand embarrassment on Chance's behalf while he tried to get Jasper to fall in love with him by following one of those online ' 10 ways...' articles. I would say that for the first few pages I found Chance exhausting (it is told purely from his POV), but once I got used to him this soon settled down, so I urge you to give this book a chance to grow on you. It's worth it, because it is a fun look at some serious issues, and it's so rare to have a genuine genderfluid character. Give Chance a chance. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Chance César is fabulously gay, but his gender identity—or, as he phrases it, "being stuck in the gray area between girl and boy"—remains confusing. Nonetheless, he struts his stuff on the catwalk in black patent leather pumps and a snug-in-all-the-right (wrong)-places orange tuxedo as the winner of this year's Miss (ter) Harvest Moon Festival. He rules supreme at the local Beans and Greens Farm's annual fall celebration, serenaded by the enthusiastic catcalls of his BFF, Emily Benson. Although he refuses to visually fade into the background of his rural New Hampshire town, Chance is socially invisible—except when being tormented by familiar bullies. But sparks fly when Chance, Pumpkin Pageant Queen, meets Jasper (Jazz) Donahue, winner of the Pumpkin Carving King contest. Chance wants to be noticed and admired and romantically embraced by Jazz, in all of his neon-orange-haired glory. And so at a sleepover, Chance and Emily conduct intense, late-night research, and find an online article: "Ten Scientifically Proven Ways to Make a Man Fall in Love With You." Along with a bonus love spell thrown in for good measure, it becomes the basis of their strategy to capture Jazz's heart. But will this "no-fail" plan work? Can Chance and Jazz fall under the fickle spell of love? Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
