Tour Sign Up: Boy Like Me by Simon James Green
Would you like to participate in the bookstagram tour for
BOY LIKE ME?
In the margins of a book's pages, sparks fly as a teenage romance begins. But in this time and place, sparks like these can only ignite trouble.
It's 1994 and thanks to Section 28, there can be no mention of gay relationships in UK schools. When a kind librarian leads Jamie to a disguised novel in the library that reflects his own confused feelings towards boys, Jamie sees that he's not the only one who has checked the book out. Will Jamie and this mystery boy have the courage to meet - and if they do, what will it take to hold on to each other?
Unflinching and often painful, but hopeful and even humorous too, BOY LIKE ME by Simon James Green is a searing, important novel. This coming-of-age love story is full of heart, courage and a reminder of not-so-distant queer history.
