Trailer Trash
Trailer Trash | Marie Sexton
6 posts | 6 read | 4 to read
It's 1986, and what should have been the greatest summer of Nate Bradford's life goes sour when his parents suddenly divorce. Now, instead of spending his senior year in his hometown of Austin, Texas, he's living with his father in Warren, Wyoming, population 2,833 (and Nate thinks that might be a generous estimate). There's no swimming pool, no tennis team, no mall-not even any MTV. The entire school's smaller than his graduating class back home, and in a town where the top teen pastimes are sex and drugs, Nate just doesn't fit in. Then Nate meets Cody Lawrence. Cody's dirt-poor, from a broken family, and definitely lives on the wrong side of the tracks. Nate's dad says Cody's bad news. The other kids say he's trash. But Nate knows Cody's a good kid who's been dealt a lousy hand. In fact, he's beginning to think his feelings for Cody go beyond friendship. Admitting he might be gay is hard enough, but between small-town prejudices and the growing AIDS epidemic dominating the headlines, a town like Warren, Wyoming, is no place for two young men to fall in love.

All the 🌟 stars! Don't let this cover fool you. There js so much emotion and story here. Loved the setting (the 80's) and the characters. OH THE EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER! HAVE. KLEENEX. HANDY! Seriously though. So good. This was a mark up book read and I was there for all of it! This is also a bookspin read for me. @TheAromaofBooks

Trailer Trash is my pick for December. I loved the 1980s setting and how realistic the characters and town felt to me. So good!

Andrew65 Thanks for playing along, it is a great way to review our reading year. 1y
Reggie Yayyyyy, for Trailer Trash! I cried the whole day I read that book. Oof. 1y
Bookzombie @Reggie It was quite the emotional rollercoaster. 1y

Don‘t let the cute stuffed animals fool you, this book is not a light hearted Hallmark romance. Cody and Nate‘s story, the other characters (Logan!), and the small town of Warren feel real. Sexton stirred up all kinds of feelings and I loved it. Definite pick! #GroupR #LMPBC

Bookzombie @sprainedbrain I‘m running slightly behind this month. I‘m planning to get this out to you Monday. I don‘t know if I will have the second Gods of Hunger completed so I might send it separately. I hope that‘s okay. 1y
sprainedbrain @Bookzombie There is absolutely no rush! If you want to wait and send them together, that‘s fine too. I‘m excited for both, but won‘t be getting to them until January anyway. 😅 1y
Bookzombie Okay, thank you! I will let you know what I end up doing. 🙂 1y

Reggie For a hot minute I thought she was going to kill one of them. This broke my heart over and over at times. Glad you liked it, Margie! 1y
Bookzombie @Reggie Me too! Such a good pick! 1y
Bookzombie @sprainedbrain I sent this one out to you today. I‘m going to send the second Gods of Hunger out separately. Probably Tuesday. So sorry I‘m late. 1y

There was a point today when I thought: Is Marie Sexton about to A Little Life me? I cried on my 1st break, my lunch, and my 2nd break. This book is great and maybe it‘s more coming of age than romance but I loved it and I hope you do, too, #GroupR. Total pick!🏳️‍🌈

TrishB Love a good book cry! 1y
Bookzombie Yay! Great background photo. I can‘t wait to read it! 1y

CarolynM I think I‘m becoming very hard hearted, I‘ve read a few sad books recently but not shed a tear. I‘ll let you know if this one breaks the drought😆 1y
Reggie @TrishB I wasn‘t expecting this level of cry. I was just hoping for cutesy romance and it dug deep!! Lol 1y
Reggie @Bookzombie you‘ll love it. I was back and for between this one of Justin Long and a couple of Leonardo DiCaprio‘s 1y
Reggie @LeahBergen I‘m glad😭😜 1y
Reggie @CarolynM It‘s the world right now. You need a hard heart to carry on or it will just break you. I hope this finds the chink in your heart armor. Lol it was really good. 1y
Bookzombie @Reggie Just wanted to let you know I got the book today! 🙂 1y
Reggie @Bookzombie omg, chica I sent that out 2 Saturday‘s ago. I sent it out the same time as my other group and Michael who lives in Missouri got his like 3 days later. Wow, I‘m reading the next one now so I‘ll have it to you earlier. 1y

“'No!'Cody covered his ears, despite still holding the cassette, trying to block the sound of that word. Nobody said that word. Not here. The inside of his crumbling trailer had never heard it uttered. Love."
