Hot Boy Summer is a wonderful novel about male friendship and truly embracing who you are, irregardless of what others expectations are of you, Mac finally finds friends that accept him as being gay and is able to finally be comfortable in his own skin. Thanks to @simon&schuster and @joejimenez for this wonderful ARC.

I received this ARC and its very fun. A cute coming of age story perfect for teens and young adults. Flor is definitely so sweet and my favorite of the kids.

Thanks Simon & Schuster and Netgalley for this eARC, these opinions are my own. Mac is still finding his way when it comes to knowing what being gay means to him. His only queer friend is Cam, but he’s not exactly the nicest of people. But when Flor gives an incredible speech in class, Mac is drawn to him as well as his friend Mikey, who just happens to be hot. Is it possible Mikey could be in to him? Will Cam be able to get along with Flor and Mikey? The four embark on their summer hoping it will be unforgettable. But will it last? And can Mac tell his father about his sexuality? A fun, quick read, that is perfectly queer! A sweet story about figuring out where you belong and finding the right found family! Highly recommend!
