Every gay boy needs an ally who will kill for him. And no boy could have a better ally than Todd Sweeney. When Todd's best friend, Toby Ragg, is threatened by homophobic guidance counselor Ashford Squeers, Todd swings into action. But he swings just a bit too hard. Enter best pal Nellie Lovett, who has very creative ideas for making the mess disappear. But then Fleet High bad boy Ryan Plouf threatens Toby and Nellie. Suddenly, Ryan is missing, too, and local cop Tarron Littey is asking some very inconvenient questions.

Horrifically irreverent and deeply emotional
Revisado: 06-30-19
Todd Sweeney is back from reform school to serve his last year in high school at Fleet High. The evil guidance counselor, Squeers, is trying to take over the world. He’s a bully, a bigot, racist, etc. and has it out for Todd.
Squeers pushes Todd too far and oops, too bad for Squeers.
Nellie, bless her pragmatic heart, describes Squeers as a physics problem. “He has to be converted into something.” And with a little imagination, a little elbow grease and YouTube voila! Ashford empanadas for the Ashford Squeers scholarship fund. Lol!
The ridiculous is paired with the macabre in this story. So much murder in the name of philanthropy and protection is just out there and messed with my psyche.
Which, of course, it’s supposed to do.
The audiobook narration is performed with much enthusiasm. The first chapter was a bit too screechy for me, but it does put you in the right frame of mind.
Reconciling the heavy themes (sexual assault, anti-gay, racism, sexism, power) with the joyful murders stretched me. Cuz wow. This is my first time reading this author and I wasn’t expecting anything so thought-provoking. It’s a very good satire.
Trigger alert- There are conversion therapy scenes and descriptions of sexual assault.

It's time to travel with James and Malcolm through their 20-year history as they battle each other and struggle to hold on to a lifetime of secrets.

Thoroughly breathtaking

There are no words which can adequately express how much this story will touch you. James is so full of hope and bravery and to witness the life changing moments from his point of view is devastating. Kale Williams’ narration Is inspired. His facility with accents is impressive and key to this book. I was gutted, absolutely gutted and shed tears. This book is one of my all time favorites and on my re-read list. Such a wonderful accomplishment for both Felice Stevens and Kale Williams.
