Title: Nathaniel Jean's Senior Year

Author: stayonbrand

Chapters: 26

At first glance, nobody would be able to tell that Nathaniel Jean had a problem. Or second glance, or third, or fourth.

After all, he had everything. He was captain of his school's soccer team and one of the top players in the state. He had a big house and money to spend. He had family, he had friends, he had fun, he had faith.

He never meant for it to happen. He never wanted to look at another man in the way he should have been looking at a woman. The idea had disgusted him for most of his life - living in a heavily Catholic town with heavily Catholic parents, homophobia was the only response he knew. That didn't change when he first realized he didn't like girls.

No, Nathaniel Jean was still homophobic. He hated the idea of a man sleeping with another man. He was still raised on the notion that all gays went to hell, and he believed it. He despised them, and so he despised himself.

Nathaniel Jean was more fortunate than most, because help did arrive for him. Help by the name of Lucas Morgan, the boy he'd always known but never known. The boy with big dreams and bigger talent.

That boy changed Nathaniel's life over the course of their thirty-six week long senior year.

Thoughts: THIS BOOK!! This book shows internalized homophobia from a first person point of view and what it's really like to experience it. This story was so good and I'm sure you've probably heard of it. Go give it a read!
