Hunter is the only gay member of the band, and he just had a very painful breakup with his first boyfriend-leaked sexts, public heartbreak, and all-and now everyone expects him to play the perfect queer role model for teens.īut Hunter isn’t really sure what being the perfect queer kid even means.

I loved every page!” – Julie Murphy, New York Times bestselling author of Dumplin’.Ī smart, sexy YA novel about a boy band star, his first breakup, his first rebound, and what it means to be queer in the public eye, from award-winning author Adib Khorram. “ Kiss & Tell is a total rush! Perfectly sweet and swoon worthy. Add to this the fact that if anyone finds out Eon is actually a girl disguised as a boy, it would mean instant death, and you’ve got a real summer thriller on your hands! The AuthorĪlison Goodman is a writer from Australia who’s won some big awards for her work. When Eon finds himself in the middle of a lethal struggle for the Imperial throne, he discovers a world of hidden identities, secret alliances and a dangerous enemy who will stop at nothing to take Eon’s powers and make them his own.

Tomb Raider (2013) and Rise of the Tomb Raider writer, Rhianna Pratchett, responded to the tweet (via GamesRadar) by saying she, too, dislikes how Richard often takes up much of the plot. Related: New Avatar: The Last Airbender, Tomb Raider Games Coming To MobileĬomics writer Gail Simone ( Birds of Prey, Batgirl), recently took to Twitter to ask that Tomb Raider scribes stop focusing on Lara Croft's father. Even the Alicia Vikander-starring Tomb Raider movies borrowed heavily from the games in this regard. Understandably, a contingent of Tomb Raider faithful take umbrage with the ongoing trend. This especially holds true in the Crystal Dynamics-developed reboot series, where the shadow of Richard's past drives many of his daughter's motivations. Meanwhile, later iterations of the story hammered home the notion that Richard's archaeological exploits were the very reason Lara took such an interest in the field. Earlier incarnations saw his influence matter little in the grand scheme of things. Throughout franchise history, Lara's father, Richard Croft (once known as Henshingley Croft), has vacillated in terms of his importance to the overarching narrative. Full of self-doubt, seeking validation in often precarious ways, this is a no holds barred story. He is so full of life and tells his story with such flair and flamboyance that absolutely suits him. I am grateful he didn’t appear to succumb to addiction during this journey, and he was aware of this too. This story will not be for everyone, it’s full of in-depth info about a rampant sex life and awakening, and a very turbulent self-discovery of sexual identity, addiction, longing, and a very complex search for how Shane identifies. I was told my uncle died of cancer because the truth was not to be revealed. I was very interested as I have an affinity with anything related to identity, sexuality and a journey such as this as I lost a family member to HIV AIDS in the early to mid-1980’s. I don’t watch reality television, so I really didn’t come into this with knowledge about Shane and Courtenay Act. It was not just an audio read it was a performance. This read like a theatrical show, Shane’s voice on the narration was great. Only pretend to forgive,” clearly foreshadowing the adventures to come. The sisters clash with history as it’s being made and with each other, noting early in the book that “We Mitford sisters never forget. The focus stays primarily on Diana, Unity, and Nancy, who are all learning a bit about fascism and having responses ranging from turning away from it to falling in love with Hitler. The Mitford sisters could probably each carry their very own book, as they are all so bold in their unique ways, but it’s perhaps more fun to see them interact with each other here. The family has recently descended from greater heights, downsizing their home more than once in an effort to remain in wealthy circles while actually affording their lifestyle. Cousins of Clementine Churchill, the Mitfords are a family of six sisters and one brother, all in their teens and twenties as the 1930s begin in London.
