John-John and Caleb, childhood friends, navigate common struggles like family illness, divorced parents, school, and crushes, while dealing with their labels as “nice boys”. Sharon wrote this novel in honor of all the young Black boys who wish to feel seen and heard.I spoke with Sharon about her life, her understanding of YA mindsets, work and her influences.“Readers will find much to appreciate about John-John’s meandering journey, which doesn’t spell out lessons but trusts them to reflect independently. [His] central relationships are well developed and poignantly described, and Flake renders his growing pains on the road to maturity in an authentic and accessible voice that will make readers root for him. A thought-provoking portrayal of growing up and defining yourself as a young man. – KIRKUS REVIEWS#TwoZeroQ#SharonFlake#theskinimin#thelifeimin#thefamilyimin#YANovels#theveryhandsometimkirk#Gay, #PRIDE, #LGBT Hosted on Acast.
