“Dear Lord, please take away these feelings, you know which ones.” From the outside ‘Paul’ is a typical high school senior in his conservative Texas town. He is active in his school’s Bible club, makes great grades, and has a serious girlfriend. On the inside, however, Pablo is not as well collected. He has been combating feelings of attraction for other boys since he hit puberty. Due to the conflict with his religion, Paul has continuously fought these feelings, prayed for their removal, and continued living his ‘normal’ life. When Manuel, an openly homosexual and Christian students transfers to Paul’s school red flags are raised. Manuel uses his faith, charisma, and bravery to change Paul and the town’s way of thinking. Alex Sanchez has produced a must read novel that celebrates being true to yourself. This book addresses common anti-gay attitudes and arguments in an engaging and effective way. Highly Recommended.
