Book description
He clicked on
Queer Eye
, a show where five gay dudes gave some grungy straight guy a makeover
-- plucking his nose hairs, redecorating his apartment, and teaching him
to bake a quiche -- so he could confidently propose marriage to his
girlfriend and she'd tell him "yes." Which, of course, she
did. On TV the guy always gets the girl.
As Carlos watched, he recalled Sal, the supposedly gay guy at
school. It was then that the idea first popped into his brain: If Sal
truly were queer...could he possibly help Carlos?...Nor to propose to
Roxy, of course -- at least not yet -- but to get her to maybe like
him?
"This sweet, simple examination of homophobia
and friendship is a welcome addition to the genre." -- School
