Rainbow High
With Pride season among us, I was feeling festive and decided to read a book with LGBTQ themes. I was very impressed with Alex Sanchez. He wrote a book that was geared at high school kids but it had enough depth for adult readers as well. I found myself really relating to the characters in this book, especially Kyle, in ways I never have in other books. This is a true coming-of-age classic that should be required reading in high school. It is clear that Sanchez writes to show the world that LGBTQ Americans are just like anyone else. They have the same problems, the same falling in love and heartbreak, the same blood and bones and skin.
I look forward to reading more of his work and I would really love to see him write some adult novels as well. Alex Sanchez is changing the world and making it a better place by writing his books. Here’s to hoping that in my lifetime we’ll have a world that has full equality under the law.
