Jack Pedersen is finding life complicated ever since he came out to his mom. Even though she’s been doing her best to understand, it’s obvious to Jack that his mom still wants to cry every time she says the word gay.  

Complications go into overdrive when a new student named Benjamin arrives at his high school, and Jack starts experiencing feelings he’s never allowed himself before. When a near tragedy turns life upside down, Jack realizes that it’s time to stop hiding and to stand up—for Pride, for Benjamin, and for himself.

The Stone Rainbow by Liane Shaw is a book that handles several difficult topics at once: suicide, identity, bullying, homophobia, coming of age. Those are topics that can be difficult to talk about but may resonate with many young adults that have personal experience with these.

I felt that at times, the story was too simplified. I didn't feel like this came from an author that had personal experience with being homosexual and coming out, and I find this to be the sort of story that needs to be told by someone that truly understands the ups and downs of this experience.

But still, I feel that this book fills a need. There need to be more stories about the issues teenagers are facing. Staying quiet and acting like these things don't happen don't do any good for anybody so I applaud Shaw for pulling them into the spotlight so more people know we are ready and wanting to hear more, to learn more.

Jack definitely showed character growth in this story cute story of accepting himself for who he is and who he loves. I also felt that both Ryan and Cody showed maturing and acceptance that was needed to accept the fact that Jack would want to keep them in his life, that they are friends/acquaintances that he should want to keep around because they like him for who he is, not in spite of who he is.

Review: I really didn't know what to expect when I began reading, The Stone Rainbow but was quickly swept up in its sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes inspiring story line. As a YA novel, I think this is an important one. I can't tell you how desperately I had wished for books and stories like this when I was a teen... to know others were dealing with and overcoming great challenges associated with 'being different', just like I was.

I really appreciated the viewpoint and the character sketches created by Liane Shaw. NO, the characters aren't perfect and don't make perfect decisions. Just like real life. They struggle, they fall, they succeed, they grow. It's the imperfections of the characters that make this book so perfect.

This book stayed very close to me, in my thoughts, way beyond the pages. As clear and delicately as it is told, Shaw still left plenty of room in the story, for the reader to imagine or daydream; living beyond the pages.

I think The Stone Rainbow perfectly shares how, as individuals, we often don't see ourselves as others do... how we are much stronger than we think we are... and how there is the potential greatness in us all.

I hope Jack and Ben receive another 'chapter' as their journey through life and love continues.

Title: A nicely done tale that was very close to being a 5* one for me.

Review: This isn't a romance but it has the start of one that I'd have liked to see later down the line. Tbh, the abrupt ending of the tale, which admittedly ties in with the blurb, lost this tale 1* for me, as there was so much that I was curious about. I wanted to know if the townsfolk had changed after the Pride parade, and if there'd be another parade the following year. If the baddie of the tale had had his comeuppance. If the close-minded mayor had had his eyes opened. If Jack's Hispanic mother had managed to further accept him and find common ground with what she'd been taught by her church for her whole life. What happened to Benjamin following the incident in the tale. Whether the guys left for college together, and much more.

It's a good tale, don't get me wrong, and I was invested in the characters and their lives in small-town, not-exactly-bigoted-but-ignorant-via-a-lack-of-education-and-understanding America, and I wanted to see if the guys were able to go on and be their true selves and live their true lives in modern-day USA. I didn't get to see any of that, but that's on me and my expectations, as the author delivered what she said she would. The tale was so good that I just wanted a bit more.
