Stay Gold by Tobly McSmith

4.0

Finished this a few days ago. I really liked Pony, I thought he was sweet and could do no wrong. The other characters, not so much. BUT this did remind me.... these are children. Like, YA would not sell as much as it did if they weren't teenagers, even if they're older teenagers, because we wouldn't give them as much leeway in learning who they are, their values, and what they believe. I didn't love Max as a character, nor did I appreciate some of the actions Georgia took, but I had to remind myself what I was like in high school and made me appreciate this book more. Anyway, it was good. And we got a new copy of this at The LGBTQ Iowa Archives and Library!!
