Heterosexuality is so last season: Kens is the gay Heathers meets Mean Girls, a shocking parody for a whole new generation. Every high school has the archetypical Queen B and her minions. In Kens, the high school hierarchy has been reimagined. Willows High is led by Ken Hilton, and he makes Regina George from Mean Girls look like a saint. Ken Hilton rules Willows High with his carbon-copies, Ken Roberts and Ken Carson, standing next to his throne. It can be hard to tell the Kens apart. There are minor differences in each edition, but all Kens are created from the same mold, straight out of Satan's doll factory. Soul sold separately. Tommy Rawlins can't help but compare himself to these shimmering images of perfection that glide through the halls. He's desperate to fit in, but in a school where the Kens are queens who are treated like Queens, Tommy is the uncool gay kid. A once-in-a-lifetime chance at becoming a Ken changes everything for Tommy, just as his eye is caught by the tall, dark, handsome new boy, Blaine. Has Blaine arrived in time to save him from the Kens? Tommy has high hopes for their future together, but when their shared desire to overthrow Ken Hilton takes a shocking turn, Tommy must decide how willing he is to reinvent himself -- inside and out. Is this new version of Tommy everything he's always wanted to be, or has he become an unknowing and submissive puppet in a sadistic plan?

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.

Digging around in my iBooks for something a little queer, and I think this definitely qualifies.

Mehso-so

I have mixed feelings about this book. It may be that I‘m much older than the intended audience (way past my teens) or it may be that the humor/ satire just hits too close to home. I did like that Kens shines a spotlight on and ridicules social media and teen popularity, but thought it went way overboard with how ok the kids were with drugs, drinking, and very very loose morals.
Once I let myself have more of a sense of humor about it... 👇

Soubhiville And I enjoyed parts of it, but it‘s not a book I‘d recommend. #LGBTQYA #PlasticPeople 5y
Soubhiville Trigger warnings for teen drug use, sex, suicide, violence (all kind of tongue in cheek) 5y
