so there's this book.
it's called "rock and riot", it's by chelsey furedi,
and it's on tapastastic (tapas!)
pulling the little summery right from google,
here:
With all the fashion and quirks of the 50's comes the vintage q///r love story that you've never heard before. Rock and Riot follows the tales of teenage delinquents learning about gender and sexual orientations while still maintaining their fabulous hair.
??? ;0; ?? yes??
i read it first when i was looking for interesting new
content on tapas- i had just finished "unfamiliar" and
"doctor b lovegood" and i was bored. it was late, like-
12 am, and i had to wake up at 6 the next morning. but
i wanted content so there i was. as i looked through a
bunch of books, all of them not very interesting (actually,
i read one of them another time it was really good lol).
then i found,,,rock and riot!
it got tagged as lgbtq+ and it was set in the 50s. perfect!
i opened it up, and 3 and a half hours later, i finished it.
i'm gonna trrrryyyy not to spoil it but there was a few
characters that actually really made me notice something.
one, rolly. rolly's story is that she switches from the boys'
group to the girls' group- and the boys are mad- "you stole
rolly from us!". this made my brain e xplode. no joke!
she just..switched groups. because she realized she didn't ever
fit in to that dumb group! ;0; wow
that sounds familiar ;0;
two, the heartbreakers (alriiight that's not their real name)
. the entirety of them. i'm pretty sure all
of them use they/them pronouns, or (she/he)/them pronouns
and that kinda. shook me. if you can't tell, that's a reoccurring
theme with this book. there's two things about this- one, double
pronouns??// i can have. more that one set of pronouns. or i can
use they/them pronouns. a?? also, even though they're not
fully binary, they can. dress. masculine and feminine. this made me
feel so good because wait, i don't fit in these groups, but i
can look however i want? wow, cool .0. also this group is in a qpr
and it brings me joy
anyways, they're all so cool and i admire them all in a way, because
they're epic!! and i love them all,,,
y e s.
t hat's it ! ok
