Nathan is nothing short of a complete triumph Period Full Stop And yes, that might sound like raving praise, but so rarely does a novel come along, particularly a debut, that provides such a...This book REALLY took me by surprise Though simply written with the occasional trope, this story was beautifully done It explores a lot of moral complexities that YA contemporaries in general tend to shy away from, as both Nate and Cameron are very aware of their own flaws and how it affects them As a result, Nate and Cameron s relationship was one of the most refreshing dynamics between two characters I ve read about in a contemporary for some time It balanced being both tense and unpredict This book REALLY took me by surprise Though simply written with the occasional trope, this story

positive, and they were kind of blown out of the water, if I m being honest This isn t a book about a trial so much as it is about two guys who quickly become really close and how they each handle it

real people I don t know when I ve read a YA book with such an authentic teen boy voice The main character, Nathan, is flawed but still likeable It was heartbreaking at times to watch him try to avoid various truths because of one single truth that he thought would destroy his world And thinkingabout this, post read, maybe there were two truths he couldn t face, but I won t saybecause spoilers His

too on point and well delivered for high schoolers at times, but Deposing Nathan covers a lot of important ground and, for the most part, covers it well Full review TK.This is such a needed book in the YA and LGBT genres Not only are the characters compelling and well rounded, but it tackles some incredibly important and difficult topics What s most impressive is how Smedley balances writing a bisexual main character who is also religious It was extremely refreshing to see how faith and sexuality are not mutually exclusive and this book deserves so much praise for walking that line so perfectly and authentically This book made me think, smile and hurt all This is such a needed book in the YA and LGBT genres Not only are the characters compelling and well rounded, but it tackles
