A review by blueloris
Adam by Anthony McDonald
3.0
This is a fast read and kept me interested, but ulimately the plot was somewhat off-putting. The central romance is a little odd -- a 16-year-old boy and a 23-year-old with the apparent mental age of 14 -- so I found it hard to feel invested in it. Adam's bed-hopping didn't help, even if this fickleness is authentic teenage-boy behaviour.
It seems like everyone Adam meets is gay, which is slightly unbelievable, as well as the fact that three different boys declare their love for him. Um why? He's not that interesting. And since when do boys throw the "l" word (love, not lesbian) around like that?
