A review by shewwimonster
How to Be Remy Cameron by Julian Winters

5.0

I hear second novels can be beasts to write, but Remy is perfect and Winters is perfect and I need MORE. For a simple look at the story, it's about coping with the labels people give you, the labels you give yourself, and who you actually *are.* It's also incredibly queer. I'm drastically outside of the target audience here, but there was still so much to connect with. And I feel like Winters writes real, relatable characters with their own layers and personality and shine. Remy is also extremely likable. Even when he's over-the-top or sticking his foot in his mouth.

An unexpected and welcome addition? The way some talk about consent is worked in.

I love everything that's happening here. I think I might have written this at the end of my Lions review, but I still can't wait to see what Winters does next.
