The Boy from the Mish by Gary Lonesborough

5.0

Ok, so this might be my favourite non Alice Oseman contemporary!

This book was phenomenal. It explored so many different topics such as homophobia, racism, culture, the treatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders by the police, drugs, sexuality and sex. It does not shy away from details about teenage experiences. The main character Jacksons story arc was amazingly written- his character had so much depth. The love interest Tomas was also a great character. The side character Kalyn was incredible as well.
This book even made me teary eyed!!!! I highly, highly recommend this book
