Book Review - The Dangerous Art of Blending In

📖Recommend for Grades 10 and up📖
by Angelo Surmelis
            Life is hard for Evan Peters. His Greek immigrant mother is overly strict and sees him as a disappointment. His father is more understanding, but he tries hard to avoid conflict, especially between Evan and his mother. Then there is his best friend Henry, who has gotten very attractive over the summer and may see Evan the same way.
            This book is not for the light of heart. Evan is a first-generation American of an abusive immigrant mother and readers who are uncomfortable with reading a story about abuse should avoid this book. Those who do decide to give this book a try will likely find themselves intrigued with a story of dealing with one's sexuality that is different from many others out in the world today.
