A Gay Boy's Guide to Flirting (7/16/2019)
A gay boy's guide to flirting, or writing "colored fiction" for "colored people" about "colored people" written by a white girl. Don't bother with this juvenile rip off of Pirates of the Caribbean. If you want to see a predatory young man convince his best friend to succumb to his unwanted advances, even though his friend denies and outright refuses these advances multiple times, the this book is for you. If you are a grown man who wants to prey on young boys, then you will enjoy this fantasy. There is even a part where the main character looks at other boys crotch bulges while he himself is only eleven years old. There is some plot about a magical alchemy thing that could maybe cure the love interest's epilepsy, but that serves no purpose other than to give the two boys some reason to continue their adventure. They retrieve the magic item, but toss it into the fire and leave their adventure behind. The two boys live together and write home about how they are now flaming homosexuals and they will never return home to their families ever again. Avoid this book if you want something interesting to read. However, if watching two boys flirt with each other for 528 pages makes your heart flutter, then go ahead and give it a shot.
