Sie gamely embodies Jules, the white, cis, only child of divorced parents who\u2019s starting yet another new school. On the afternoon he\u2019s decided to come out as gay to his friends, he fleetingly locks eyes with a new kid.<\/p>\n<p>Jack is temporarily transplanted from Pittsburgh to LA, accompanying his wannabe-thespian, dream-chasing father. Dad is white-passing, but Jack resembles his Indian American mother; he\u2019s also trans. He\u2019d hoped to be stealth, but his vlogging past as half of \u201cAdam and Evie\u201d outs him, impeding a potential relationship with Jules. Meanwhile, Jack\u2019s longing for elusive-for-good-reason Evie only grows.<\/p>\n<p>South Asian American actor Shaan Desani as Jack and Emmy-nominated actor Rain Valdez as Evie make their fabulous and authentic audiobook debuts; Valdez might have the shortest airtime, but she proves to be a spectacular gift to lucky readers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Review<\/strong>:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.booklistonline.com\/All-Kinds-of-Other-\/pid=9749437\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">\u201cMedia,\u201d <em>Booklist<\/em>, July 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Readers<\/strong>: Young Adult<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published<\/strong>: 2021<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James Sie (Still Life Las Vegas) multitasks as author and partial narrator in his first YA novel: the theme might seem common \u2013 a high school love story complicated by parents and friends \u2013 but the narrative\u2019s specifics elevate the familiar into memorable.
