Book Review: Trouble gay teenager tells how it is
Summary: 4 Stars
Jarold, who prefers to known as Jaz, a troubled sixteen year old preparing to take his A level exams, tells his story as he sees it; and without the intention of winning any sympathy. He lives at home with his self-centred mother, a lawyer; his weak willed father, a chef; his pious younger sister (the Nun); and his widowed grandmother, his one ally at home.
Jaz is gay, although to others he prefers to know as "confused". Along with best friend Alice, called Al, he frequents a local gay club where one day he meets Jon, and he is smitten; but nothing for Jaz is ever simple. Matters are not helped when Al outs him at school.
Jaz speaks very much as a sixteen year old Londoner and directly to the reader in a very casual conversational manner; and the words flow with considerable ease making for a fluent and fast read. The result is an hilarious, witty, and yet appealing and moving story, and despite Jaz's stated intentions, one cannot but help be endeared to him.
