When you see this title in a bookstore, would you pass on
without flipping to the backside and reading the blurb? 10 on 10 for the title alone.
Gabe is a guy. But he was born as Elizabeth. A radio show
that started out as a pursuit for the sake of his love of music conquers a
fandom. A radio hosted by Gabe who is Liz in school. An audition for a radio station
seems like his chance for a big escape but then his secret gets out. And not
everyone likes it.
So I plopped on the bed and started reading. I’m not a big
fan of pretentious language so I liked the honest writing. And the characters
were real. My music preferences clashed with the Beautiful Music but I’m fully willing
to accept that I have sucky music preferences.
And Gabe. A guy with a Mango. Who is in love with his BFF.
Who cheats on her lips by checking others out.
A dude with a coochie snorcher who stole someone else’s girlfriend. How
do you not like him?
It’s not a REMARKABLE novel, but a must- read all the same.
Verdict: 3.5 stars.
Oh all right, 4 stars (Note to self: Stop being so miserly. It’s not like you can
write anything half so good.)
