YA
In his final semester of high school in Utah, Tanner, "a half-Jewish queer kid" from California, falls for his (male and Mormon) writing-seminar mentor. Complex parental reactions on both sides reflect the intricacies of dynamics in all families. A lusty, emotionally nuanced look at a romance hindered by religious and familial expectations is occasionally disrupted by exposition on the Mormon faith.
