Hey #QueerBC, here are some discussions questions for our November author, Adam Silvera. Answer some, all, or none!

rwmg He co-authored the book I read with Becky Albertalli, whose “Simon Vs The Homosapiens Agenda“ I loved. I didn't like this as much, but I don't know whether that was due to him or the co-authoring. I just felt the two MC were too similar so I got confused with the changes of POV as to whose head I was supposed to be in. I will try one of his solo efforts another time.

I occasionally read YA but not really regularly/frequently.

willaful @rwmg What If It's Us? I enjoyed that one. There were actually some parts of the book I read that made me think of BA so perhaps he was influenced by her before they teamed up. I also thought of We Were Liars.

Do you think you'll read the sequel? I'm afraid I found it too irritating to finish.

rwmg @willaful Whoops. I forgot you have to re-tag the book if you edit a comment.

I read the extract from the sequel which was in my ebook but I don't feel that enthused.

Even after he broke up with his boyfriend Theo, even when Theo started seeing Jackson, Griffin expected them to be endgame someday. But then Theo died at 18 and Griffin is left a wreck of grief, guilt, and compulsion. A very intense story with intriguing twists; it engrossed and affected me but was almost too depressing to enjoy.

This was the only available book of Adam Silvera at our library right now, so I went with this one. I don't know what I expected, but it sure wasn't what I got. It took me a while to get into it, but at some point the story really takes off. It's heart-breaking, moving and sometimes hard to read. And it's a very, very, very important message Silvera shares with us.

This is a quintessential coming of age novel, with a lovely focus on queer identity and asexuality. Georgia is obsessed with the idea of being in love but has never felt that spark for another person. There is typical university romantic drama throughout plus an emotional reckoning of society's romantic expectations. Oseman as always writes a wonderful cast of characters who all struggle in different ways

This was apparently only released in the UK. So! If you can't source it, read one of the runner ups instead

Sorry!

PuddleJumper I have read this and enjoyed it. I might see if my library still has it and give it a re-read 1w
willaful Not finding it in my libraries. :-( Will keep looking. 1w
willaful Damn, can't even get it through inter-library loan! 1w
PuddleJumper @willaful That a shame! It's not on Kobo plus or Kindle unlimited either 1w
peanutnine Hmmm yes I'm having trouble finding it as well. It's not even available for purchase on kindle, paperback only 7d
PuddleJumper @peanutnine That's really weird! It's available as an ebook in the UK

If it's going to be a challenge to source then maybe the runner ups could be an option instead?

PuddleJumper @peanutnine @willaful Ok, looks like it wasn't really released in the USA. Something something UK World Book Day 😅

Ok, in that case go to the runner ups. I'll make a note

willaful Oh interesting! I did wonder if it was released here under another title, but I hadn't thought of that. 7d
lil1inblue This one looked so good! Ah well, looks like I'll be doing Christmas Days instead. 6d
Jari-chan @PuddleJumper If it's okay I'd go with Look Up, Handsome. You mentioned in your review that EDs are a topic, and I don't feel like handling that rn ... 🥺 6d
PuddleJumper @Jari-chan Yeah, go for it. I think it was a fairly big part of the book 6d
Jari-chan @PuddleJumper Thank you! Then I go with LUH - I'm totally in the mood for that 💖 6d

2 brothers are just trying to live as people w/ powers around them fight amongst themselves. When Emil suddenly manifests an ability, the war becomes much more important in their lives.

This was an interesting magical twist on the superhero genre, w/ some really interesting characters. But the pacing was nonstop, we didn‘t get really deep characterizations, & there‘s a difference between a cliffhanger & ending in the middle of a climax.🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑
