Rainbow Boys / Alex Sanchez
“…Rainbow Boys is considered a classic in YA GBLT sub-genre…The novel definitely deserves that status. Sanchez does some edgy things here. The characters are strong and real, as are the situations. The story didn’t always veer in the predictable, morality-based direction that YA contemporary novels often do. Sanchez didn’t shy away from gay sex and frank discussions of the physical AND emotional thrills, mistakes, consequences, and satisfaction that teenagers experience the first time. About the audio book: This book worked really well in audio. The narrator essentially disappeared and I could get lost in the story — which I appreciate. He wasn’t annoying or overly theatrical, and I thought the pacing was excellent… I’d recommend it to lovers of contemporary and LBGT lit, and I would put it in a high school library.” ~The Librarian Who Doesn’t Say Shhh (Tara Anderson)
