" Kiss &,Tell is a total rush! Perfectly sweet and swoon worthy. I loved every page! &ndash,#160,ulie Murphy, New York Times bestselling author of Dumplin&rsquo,/i〉 160 A smart, sexy YA novel about a boy band star, his first breakup, his first rebound, and what it means to be queer in the public eye, from award-winning author Adib Khorram Hunter never expected to be a boy band star, but, well, here he is. He and his band Kiss &,Tell are on their first major tour of North America, playing arenas all over the United States and Canada (and getting covered by the gossipy press all over North America as well). Hunter is the only gay member of the band, and he just had a very painful breakup with his first boyfriend—leaked sexts, public heartbreak, and all—and now everyone expects him to play the perfect queer role model for teens. But Hunter isn't really sure what being the perfect queer kid even means. Does it mean dressing up in whatever The Label tells him to wear for photo shoots and pretending never to have sex? (Unfortunately, yes.) Does it mean finding community among the queer kids at the meet-and-greets after K&,'s shows? (Fortunately, yes.) Does it include a new relationship with Kaivan, the drummer for the band opening for K&, on tour? (He hopes so.) But when The Label finds out about Hunter and Kaivan, it spells trouble&mdash,or their relationship, for the perfect gay boy Hunter plays for the cameras, and, most importantly, for Hunter himself."

Biographisches: "Adib Khorram lives in Kansas City, Missouri. When he isn't writing, you can probably find him trying to get his hundred-yard freestyle under a minute, learning to do a Lutz jump, or steeping a cup of oolong. His debut novel, Darius the Great Is Not Okay , earned several awards, including the William C. Morris Debut Award, the Asian/Pacific American Award for Young Adult Literature, and a Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor. He is also the author of Darius the Great Deserves Better and the picture book Seven Special Somethings: A Nowruz Story ." Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from January 31, 2022 Euphoria—that’s what white Canadian Hunter Drake, 17, feels when he’s singing with band Kiss &,Tell, and what he used to feel playing hockey before an injury. But bliss, and his lyric-writing, become less accessible when the ethnically inclusive boy band starts an arena tour just as Hunter’s first relationship ends and his ex reveals intimate details about their sex life. Though Hunter is publicly out, the record label goes into damage control mode, updating Hunter’s wardrobe to embrace “a more... femme look.” The label also suggests he date Iranian American Kaivan Parvani, whose band opens for Kiss &,Tell,the two genuinely like each other, but it’s difficult to start a relationship mid-tour and with the label stage-managing. Showing how Hunter’s fame increases the spotlight, Khorram ( Darius the Great Is Not Okay ) incorporates fictional news ranging from celebrity gossip to think pieces about gay representation as the media weighs in on Hunter’s life. Khorram deftly makes the story work, calling on readers to empathize with Hunter’s pride and embarrassment, questions about how he should look and be, and maybe even his belated realization that the band’s other members also receive public scrutiny. Ages 14–up. Agent: Molly O’Neill, Root Literary. " Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://www.audiofilemagazine.com target=_blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/audiofile_logo.jpg alt=AudioFile Magazine border=0 /〉〈/a〉:Narrator Pete Cross is completely believable as gay, out 17-year-old Canadian boy-band star Hunter Drake. Soon after Kiss & Tell embarks on a concert tour, Hunter's ex-boyfriend shares their private--and very personal--text messages online. Everyone from the band's label to strangers on the Internet has an opinion about everything from Hunter's public image to the details of his sex life. A chorus of additional narrators gives voice to the barrage of gossipy news articles, social media posts, and interview excerpts, and shows how unrelenting and brutal the spotlight can be, while Cross's narration keeps us tuned to Hunter's mindset. As Hunter weathers the storm and finds his voice again, he navigates a budding romance with fellow musician Kaivan. Listeners will be rapt throughout this intense and empowering audiobook.
