Description
Friendship, masculinity, sexAnthony Stevenson has a lot of questions. Is it different for boys who like boys? A poignant and frank story filled with meta-humor by renowned author Patrick Ness.
Anthony Ant Stevenson isnt sure when he stopped being a virgin. Or even if he has. The rules arent always very clear when it comes to boys who like boys. In fact, relationships of all kinds feel complicated, even with Ants oldest friends. Theres Charlie, whos both virulently homophobic and in a secret physical relationship with Ant. Then theres drama kid Jack, who may be gay and has become the target of Charlies rage. And, of course, theres big, beautiful Freddie, who wants Ant to ditch soccer, Charlies sport, and try out for the rugby team instead. Ants story of loneliness and intimacy, of unexpected support and heart-ripping betrayal, is told forthrightly with tongue-in-cheek black-bar redactions over the language that teenagers would actually use if, you know, they werent in a story. Award-winning author Patrick Ness explores teen sexuality, friendship, and romance with a deft hand in this structurally daring, illustrated short novel.
