We Contain Multitudes

Epistolary novels are difficult to pull off, but Henstra does a wonderful job here.

Twenty-two years ago, I complied an annotated bibliography of YA novels about homosexuality for a college class. It was hard to find enough books on the theme to complete the assignment; there were only a few which had a main character who was struggling with their sexuality and none who were “out”. If I were doing it now, I would have a wealth of choice and I would put this tale right at the top of the list. The characters are great, the pacing solid and the story engaging.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher for review.
