Kings of B'more by R. Eric Thomas
3.75

I love R. Eric’s voice and random asides, that was great. I read this book Here For It and thoroughly enjoyed his voice there too. 

Overall this was enjoyable, though too long. I enjoyed reading about two Black queer teens’ first time at Pride while I was also headed to a Pride parade in my city, tho I didn’t have nearly as many hijinks, alas! 

Not sure what the point of the racist man in the museum was, or why that was such a throughline/lengthy plot point. 

This was a love letter to queerness and deep friendship. Having limitless potential but not being sure what to do with it.
