Anthem by A.M. Leibowitz

ash_poison's review

 After reading just the first chapter, the writing comes across as very simple and straightforward, bordering on fanfiction style without quite crossing that line. The story is a classic queer love narrative reminiscent of the early 2000s, featuring familiar elements: a homophobic church and congregation, a protagonist who is clearly queer but not openly out, and the internal struggle of wanting to have it all before realizing the impossibility of that desire. But that's also the books downfall, Its so predictable there isn't much to say about it because of that.

I actually didn’t truly understand the journey that Trevor and Andre are going through in the story. It’s not my story to understand because I’m not in that situation. I found it very compelling to see this insight of church and sexuality.
