A review by loischanel
Autoboyography by Christina Lauren

3.0

3.5 stars!!! Beautifully optimistic and hopeful, Autoboyography is about a high school senior, Tanner Scott, a queer kid living in an 'LDS-infested' town, who falls in love with Sebastian Brother, an LDS church member. Sebastian is the mentor in one of Tanner's classes where students must write a book in four months, but it's all Tanner can do to not think about Sebastian and his floppy hair and prominent blush. Their taboo romance will test them both in ways they could never imagine.

This book struck a personal cord with me but critically speaking, I thought the way Autoboyography started was too pedestrian for my tastes. It was a very banal, everyday beginning that did nothing to capture me and compel me to keep reading, nonetheless I carried on reading and my investment was rewarded. If it hadn't been for that, I would have given this book 4 stars on the basis of the emotional connection I shared with it because it is otherwise, an extremely heartfelt and intuitive novel.
