Camp

This is a lot of fun! To any savvy reader it's completely obvious how this “flamboyant teen gives himself a masculine makeover to become more like his dream guy's type” plotline is going to play out, and that's sort of lampshaded by the reactions of all of Randy/Del's friends, but like, it's a fun story, and obviously the queer spin on the storyline makes it new. I loved all the details about Camp Outland, a summer camp for queer teens. (That camp is fictional but I know there are real ones like it.) The camp's mandatory queer history sessions are a great way to infodump interesting pieces of queer history that I think a lot of queer teen readers will particularly find interesting.
