Jack of Hearts (and Other Parts)
by L.C. Rosen
⭐⭐⭐⭐·5 Out and Proud Stars
I loved this book, what a refreshing change for someone to say "Hey, i like sex, and as long as it is consensual, I'll have lots of it please!"
And gay sex too, oh the horror of it all!!
Jack is the person in this story shouting this, he is gay, and he is "out" loud, and abso-fu*king-lutely proud!
He is at high school, where unfortunately he has to deal with gay shaming, slut shaming, fat shaming, and any other type of shaming you can think of.
His best friends are Jenna, an outspoken blogger, and Ben, a gay, black, fat (his words) fabulous fashion designer.
Jenna talks Jack into writing for her blog, as she wants to help people who have questions about sexuality and sex in general, and are too afraid to ask, they are able to write in anonymously, and Jack answers them VERY truthfully.
Look this book is not going to be for everyone.
One, because is is a book about a gay man having no-strings sex, lots of it, but not as much as the rumour mill at school says.
Two, because Jack is not ashamed of who he is, he's glam, he wears make up, he's opinionated, and he doesn't give one sh*t about what people think about him....until the notes.
The notes that are left in his locker and taped to his door are a knockback for Jack, and we see how he becomes a different person when he trys to NOT be who he is.
I LOVED Jack and his friends, I loved the letters that he wrote to the people who were scared to ask them in public, I mean who *do* you speak to about being a virgin, and a gay virgin at that, who do you ask about how it felt the first time, who do you ask if it hurt? How do you admit that, actually you are not that interested in sex at all?
Jack was very truthful with his answers, and also followed them up with example stories of his own.
"My first time getting it in the butt was kind of weird. I think it’s going to be weird for everyone’s first time, though."
This book pulls no punches, there is sex in it (shock horror) and *GAY* sex at that (put away your pearls mother!) If this type of book offends you, then don't even bother trying to look for it.
I for one, wish that there was someone like Jack in my school, I'm so glad to have met him in this book, and I honestly would tell anyone that had questions about their sexuality or even if they are straight and wanted questions answered to read this book.
