Life is hard for everyone. But if you throw in religious parents, the death of a brother, and a desire to act, sing, and dance--when you don't look the way everyone expects (or wants)--it can be particularly difficult.
This is the story of Baxley Theodore Miller--Teddy. He acts, he sings, he tries to dance (he's working on it), he's gay, he's overweight, his parents are religious, and the one person who loved him just as he is has died. That doesn't mean that life stops moving. Teddy wants to follow his dreams...and maybe find love along the way. Why can't a gay, overweight kid have it all?
Teddy finds himself in an experimental performing arts LGBTQ+ summer camp after his senior year of high school. There he will find out what he is truly made of--and maybe make a few friends along the way. But when a handsome, friendly, kind boy starts to show interest, Teddy realizes that maybe he's never understood love at all. With the help of his bunkmates Rufus, an enthusiastic asexual boy, and Chastity, a lesbian who is a lot kinder than she seems, Teddy realizes that maybe he has to change his way of thinking before he can change the world.
Love doesn't just find you, you have to decide to find love, and it all starts with loving yourself.

- Oh, Teddy. My sweet, sweet Teddy. I want to squish him in a giant hug. And maybe Connor too for writing such a hilarious, poignant story.
But I also want to shake Connor and ask him WHY, FOR THE LOVE OF JEEBUS, DID YOU HAVE TO TEAR ME APART IN THE FIRST CHAPTER????
I digress...
I loved the concept of Camp Diversity and the unique way campers were sorted into cabins (by sexuality) to prevent any shenanigans. This process wasn't fool-proof as the reader learns.
Teddy's cabinmates were an absolute pleasure and added just the right balance to Teddy and Travis.
There's Rufus, the joyful, friendly asexual
"I mean, sexual fantasies are awesome...but contemplating actually having sex is just not that appealing."
Chastity, the snarky, cynical (but caring underneath all that superficial barbed wire) bff
"I'm allergic to happiness, not fun."
And then there's Travis, the unexpected (at least to Teddy) love interest.
He was hot. He was gay. He couldn't see me eating a candy bar.
I was overjoyed when Teddy finally saw his worth and let himself just be with Travis.
He was a hot guy and I was...Teddy.
Oh, but Teddy, that's what makes you perfect.
Of course, Connor had to tear me apart again with one of the most perfect, tender lines I've ever read
He was beautiful in the ways that mattered.
So are you, Teddy. - What a fun and hysterical book! The character development is excellent to where you end up loving all of them by the end and their banter between them is seriously laugh out loud funny!!! A must read for all YA romance lovers out there!!
- After an opening similar to the Disney movie "up"....the book was thoroughly enjoyable. a realistic ending.
- Another great story from one of my favorite authors!
