Gavin's Big Gay Checklist
Gavin's Big Gay Checklist | Chase Connor
1 post | 1 read | 4 to read
Gavin is miserable. But it's not what you think. Okay, maybe it is. Being half-Mexican, half-white, Jewish and Catholic is hard enough. Being a closeted high school senior just makes things harder to handle. Only Eli, Gavin's best friend who lives next door--and who happens to be a white, straight, home-schooled son of a preacher--knows who Gavin really is inside and out. But that's not enough. Gavin decides to make a list. A checklist of "To Do" items to help him become an open, proud gay man before his high school career is over. Before he heads off to college and leaves behind his mother and father, hopefully with their love and support. However, what the checklist does is educate Gavin about life--not just as a gay man--but simply as a man. It teaches him about friendship, honesty, kindness, duty, responsibility, and family. Maybe...just maybe...it will teach him to not be miserable. Gavin's Big Gay Checklist starts out as the story of how a young gay man sets out to accomplish "gay" tasks on his path to coming out of the closet. But it ends up being about life, friendship, family, all of the misery and happiness along the way...and menudo.

Another YA LGBTQ novel I recently read. Just like Chase Connor‘s other book “Just a Dumb Surfer Dude”—this one was so fun! Witty dialogue, characters you‘ll fall in love with, and you‘ll be wiping tears away at the end. And ✊🏼 for POC representation! I would definitely recommend this to YA lovers!
