Before you head out for the long holiday weekend to celebrate July 4th, I wanted to let you know that Boston’s Gay Men’s Book Club will be meeting in a few weeks on Monday, July 18th at the Trident Booksellers and Cafe to discuss The Great American Whatever by Tim Federle. If you are looking for some funny reading over the holiday, check out this month’s book by Federle.
About the Book: Quinn Roberts is a sixteen-year-old smart aleck and Hollywood hopeful whose only worry used to be writing convincing dialogue for the movies he made with his sister Annabeth. Of course, that was all before—before Quinn stopped going to school, before his mom started sleeping on the sofa…and before the car accident that changed everything.
Enter: Geoff, Quinn’s best friend who drags Quinn to his first college party, where instead of nursing his pain, he meets a guy— a hot guy—and falls, hard. What follows is an upside-down week in which Quinn begins imagining his future as a screenplay that might actually have a happily-ever-after ending—if, that is, he can finally step back into the starring role of his own life story.
You may purchase the book online but go out and support an independent bookseller, read the book and RSVP to join the group next month.
