Title: Abeautifulandimpactfulmustread

Review: This is an incredibly beautiful and powerful novel. It is quite a heavy and emotional story and an absolutely stellar debut. I learned so much more about the 1970s and the LGBT community at the time. We get insight into society’s atrocious treatment of same-sex couples and the brave individuals who stood up for themselves and championed the freedom to love. This is such an important novel, particularly for young adult readers that did not grow up in this time period. It is a raw and moving snapshot of a time of great injustice but also of strength and the courage of standing up for what you believe in.In this novel, we follow a teenage boy named Jonathan who is going through the process of discovering his true self and sexuality. He is facing the intolerance and attempted suppression of homosexuality that plagued society in the 1970s. These feelings are treated as a mental illness and Jonathan has come to believe that he is sick and needs to be cured. He copes with life by entering the safety of his imagination, getting advice and guidance from his hero, David Bowe’s Ziggy Stardust, as well as his mother who passed away after his birth.Due to pressures from a variety of sources—his very close-minded father included—Jonathan has been undergoing painful and, quite frankly, inhumane treatments that he hopes will “cure” him. However, before he finishes he meets a new classmate named Web—someone who is fearless, strong-willed and, most importantly, not ashamed to be gay. Before he knows it, Web is completely changing his world and taking him on an adventure through love that he never dared to consider.Jonathan’s story had my heart from the very beginning. Hearing his thoughts through all the events of this novel is equal parts hilarious, heartbreaking, and inspiring. Watching him grow so much and gradually accept himself over the course of the narrative is wonderful and I found myself feeling extremely proud of him. Every up and every down touches your core and makes you become increasingly invested in his story. This gripped me and held me until the final page and even well after finishing.Every single character, both good and bad, in this novel is crafted incredibly well. Jonathan and Web are definitely two of my new favorite literary characters. They are two truly beautiful human beings—inside and out—and their relationship is done to absolute perfection. I adored every moment they spent together and there was one scene in particular toward the end of the novel that has genuinely become one of my favorite scenes from any novel I’ve ever read. I have been constantly replaying so many of their interactions in my mind since I finished reading this book and I love that.Brandon does an amazing job of capturing the mind of a teenage boy going through this rough and confusing time in his life. It is so easy to connect with and feel for Jonathan, as he is so clearly and vividly portrayed. Each scene in the story is packed with so much detail and sentiment they are almost tangible. It is as if you are right there beside Jonathan, watching him grow and transform and always cheering him on. Brandon’s writing transports the reader back in time and right into the middle of things, making for a wholly unique and sweeping narrative.The only minor issue that I faced was my personal connection to the writing style. Since we are in first person following Jonathan’s point of view, we get to hear all his thoughts as they happen. For me, it felt like it had a sort of stream of consciousness quality to it. I didn’t entirely click with it and it took some getting used to each time I picked the book up. But this was completely a personal thing, not a problem with the actual writing itself. As I’ve said, it is very beautifully written and that stream of thoughts that bounces quickly from one thing to another fits Jonathan perfectly.Ziggy, Stardust and Me is an absolutely essential read in my opinion. It is a raw and unflinching look at the horrors of intolerance and the length people believed one should go to in order to rid themselves of these feelings they could not—or would not try to—understand. It is a book that will have a great impact on all of its’ readers and on the young adult literary world in general. We get a picture of what it was like for gay people living in this time and the painful and damaging emotional turmoil inflicted on them just for being themselves.The importance of looking back on our history and learning from the mistakes in order to improve society is particularly important for this generation of readers. Love is love and that will always be true. Here we can find a message of the significance of being open-minded and helping continue the fight for equality. This is a story that will stick with me for a very long time. I look forward to reading future novels by James Brandon.

Review: "The things that scare you the most are the things that bring you closer to who you're meant to be."TW: Bullying, Attempted Rape, Racism, HomophobiaThis is a Young Adult, Historical Fiction book about Johnathon, a 17 year old high school senior in 1973 St. Louis, Missouri. The reality of his life is that he is going to therapy for his "condition" and he lives at home with an abusive alcoholic father who is an ex-soldier that fought in the Vietnamese war. Jonathon uses music and his imagination for his escape in a time of brutal, and necessary social change. Jonathon isn't a popular kid at school, in fact he is bullied a lot and made fun of. He would be considered unpopular save for his best friend Starla (half black and half british), who is supportive of Johnathon in literally every way imaginable. Being in denial of his true self, Jonathan starts to get close to the new kid at school named Web (Lakota indian). As Jonathon gets closer to Web and begins to develop romantic feelings for him, Jonathon must come to terms with who he really is even if society believes him to be ill.In 1973, the APA still believed being apart of the LGBTQ+ was a mental illness. So they treated people with aversion therapy and counseling in an attempt to "rehabilitate" them into being cured of what was considered a psychological ailment. Being apart of the LGBTQ+ community was also heavily socialized as being wrong as well. In this book, being LGBTQ+ got lumped in with pedophilia and was also treated as contagious disease. There was a lot of many hard to stomach concepts in this that made Jonathon a victim of the times he was growing up in.All of the main characters in this book are fighting for the right to be themselves. Starla is half black & half British female who goes to women's rights protests. Web is a Lakota Indian who's people are fighting to get their land back. Jonathon is raging in an internal battle to be gay. All the main characters are dealing with some sort of conflict that is a marker for all the social change that was present in 1973. The harshness of the racist and homophobic ideas of the time created a lot of anxiety with an intense need for escapism."Your imagination is your safe space, an escape pod to another dimension where you're free to be."Many parts of this book exists in interludes of Jonathon's imagination and the surreal reality that he frequently escapes to. Ziggy Stardust (AKA David Bowie) was a main portion of his escape. Ziggy told stories through his music and stage performances that was escapism in a whole different platform.As Jonathon got ever closer to who he was as a person, he also started developing feelings for Web that he punished himself over. Web's complete acceptance of Jonathon allowed Jonathon to open up to to the possibility that he wasn't mentally ill. This relationship was pure and healing for Jonathon in a way that allowed Jonathon to be ever more present in the real world. Jonathon's day dreaming and escapist behavior became less and less as the book progressed.This book had a ton of harsh themes and hard to stomach ideologies, but I also feel this book is necessary in learning what the LGBTQ+ community has had to overcome in order to be who they are and love who they wish. In spite of the harsh realities of this book, the writing in this lulled me into a safe escape and I adored this book.
