Deposing Nathan
作者: Zack Smedley Page Street Publishing 2019 - 5
For sixteen years, Nate was the perfect son—the product of a no-nonsense upbringing and deep spiritual faith. Then he met Cam, who pushed him to break rules, dream, and accept himself. Conflicted, Nate began to push back. With each push, the boys became more entangled in each others’ worlds...but they also spiraled closer to their breaking points. And now all of it has fallen apart after a fistfight-turned-near-fatal-incident—one that’s left Nate with a stab wound and Cam in jail.
Now Nate is being ordered to give a statement, under oath, that will send his best friend to prison. The problem is, the real story of what happened between them isn’t as simple as anyone thinks. With all eyes on him, Nate must make his confessions about what led up to that night with Cam…and in doing so, risk tearing both of their lives apart.

书名Deposing Nathan不给过审么【。YA小说里少见的讨论宗教家庭背景下的bisexual议题。最后十几页看得我痛哭流涕,两个主角讨人喜欢的不行,金句频出,恶俗桥段有(直男互相打✈️事后死活不承认什么的),但总体来说美丽动人,看完真的心碎一地,但又不由得感慨这就是少年人的似是而非的爱啊。关于性觉醒,家庭,宗教与科学(看在主角之一长篇大论深入探讨这个问题的份上lol),成长,自我接纳,和爱。上半年最享受也最心碎的一次阅读。
