Bill Konigsberg – Openly Straight

Rafe is from Boulder, Colorado. He plays soccer. He hates tofu. He’’s won skiing prizes. He likes to write.
And, oh yeah, he’’s gay. He’’s been out since eighth grade, and he isn’’t teased, and he goes to schools and talks about tolerance and stuff. And while that’’s important, all he wants is to be a regular guy. Not that gay guy. To have that be a part of who he is, but not the headline, every single time.

So when he transfers to an all-boys’ boarding school in New England, he decides to become “openly straight” — not so much going back in the closet as starting over outside it. The transformation works: Rafe revels in a new group of straight guy friends, and the chance to be “just Rafe” at last. But things get complicated when he falls in love with one of his new friends . . . Who doesn’’t even know that’s a possibility.

A book for anyone who’s ever felt trapped within just one part of who they are, Openly Straight is a funny, smart novel about being out, being real, and all the things “be yourself” can mean.   źródło opisu: http://www.arthuralevinebooks.com/ źródło okładki: http://www.arthuralevinebooks.com/
