None of the Above

“This is a great audio for older teens or adults, the sex content would be overwhelming for a younger teen. The frank discussion of sexuality and gender after a life-changing diagnosis of AIS (one of the many conditions under the intersex umbrella) is wonderfully refreshing. The author is "outed" by a series of unfortunate responses to her news and has to grapple with her newly discovered diagnosis and all that it comes with while being bullied at her high school. She soon discovers her tribe and begins to gain confidence in being perfect, just as she is. The audio really captures the teen voice without feeling too young, like listening to your 18 year old best friend tell you all her secret thoughts.”

The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue

“The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue is told by Henry “Monty” Montague, a young lord from Britain who has more than a secret or two. Henry has been struggling with the fact that he is in love with his best friend, Percy, who has secrets of his own to hide. Together, along with Henry’s sister, Felicity, they start their grand tour of Europe and Monty knows that this might be his last chance at having fun before he takes over his father’s estate and Percy goes away to study law. Mackenzi Lee wrote a beautiful story about a young man coming to terms with the fact that he is attracted to boys more than girls, and that he needs to start being true to himself to be happy. All three of them grew up as the story progressed and learned things not only about themselves, but also about each other. Gentleman’s Guide takes you on more than a tour through the continent, it takes you on a journey of discovering who you are and being okay with who that is.”
