Unfortunately, that's one of the factors hurting this book. Anyways, the pacing is quick and coupled with the low page count, this one will be a breeze for most readers. I knocked it out in 2 evenings, thanks to being damned tired from this new job 'o mine. This is a weekend afternoon read at the most. And when the mysteriously cool New York City girl shows up in town and happens to be a co-worker at his new summer job, he's out to prove he's totally into the v-jay.Īlright, now Way to Go isn't going to take up too much of your time. Everyone suspects it, but he's in denial. Danny is, you guessed it, coping with confusing feelings of homosexuality and big-fish-little-pond syndrome. Way to Go is set in early/mid-90s small town Canada (are there any gay teen books out there that actually take place in a BIG city or some shit? No? hm.) and centers around Danny, the hero of the piece. As soon as I saw "gay" and "young adult" in the same sentence, I was in. I found out about Way To Go after the author, Tom Ryan, followed me on twitter. And then sometimes they just throw themselves at me. It's often a hard quest, requiring star navigation and Google Maps routes. Ever the vigilant YA GLBT fiction enthusiast (so many letters), I try to keep my eyes and ears open for anything new in the category.
