seattleThis week I’m highlighting a passage from one of my all time favorite books. If you haven’t been introduced to this book or taken the time to pick up a copy before, let this be your tap on the shoulder. You won’t be disappointed. This week’s pick is FREAK SHOW by James St. James.

Here is the book description:

Billy Bloom is gay, but it’s mostly theoretical, as he hasn’t had much experience. When he has to move to Florida, he can’t believe his bad luck. His new school is a mix of Bible Belles, Aberzombies, and Football Heroes, none of which are exactly his type. Billy’s efforts to fit in and stand out at the same time are both hilarious and heartrending. In this novel from adult author and media personality James St. James, readers are in for a wild ride as he tells Billy’s fascinating story of bravado, pain, and unexpected love, inspired by his own experiences.
