Jack of Hearts
by L.C. Rosen
★★★☆☆/★★★★★
Book Review: Jack of Hearts (And Other Parts) by L C Rosen
Positives
✂️Likeable main character and supporting cast
💌Very funny
Negatives
💌Rude - like an x-rated version of Love, Simon
✂️I guessed 'whodunit' early on
I enjoyed this LGBT YA contemporary. Jack is a very likeable main character though he seems to have more sex than I have hot drinks in a week 😂 the stalker aspect was a good addition though I did guess fairly early on.
Jack Rothman is out and proud. He is something of a sexlebrity at his school, and his apparent sexcapades are discussed in great detail in the girls bathrooms each week.
When Jack's best friend Jenna asks him to write a sex advice column where readers can send in anonymous questions for Jack to answer, he is initially wary but then agrees when he sees a chance to show that he isn't quite the player that his peers believe him to be. As his 'Jack of Hearts' column gains more readers, Jack himself gains a stalker and we follow Jack and his two best friends as they attempt to untangle this escalating situation.
As I mentioned in my negatives above, I do think this one should be marketed at the older end of YA, so 16+, as it's pretty graphic and sexually explicit at times. I'd recommend if you liked Love, Simon and don't kind a bit of rude and graphic language.
