\"\"*STARRED REVIEW<\/strong>
\nFrom Steven Salvatore\u2019s warm dedication onward, Kirt Graves ignites the pages with kaleidoscopic talent and charm, fulfilling his self-described \u201cpassion … for telling queer stories, the types of stories he wishes he had while growing up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Animation major Chase arrives at art college with dreams of falling in love. His initial baggage is heavy: body dysmorphia, an abusive father, a traitorous ex-best friend. But his new roommate Benny couldn\u2019t be more supportive (or Graves more splendid), his true BFF is just a campus away, and his animation seminar promises achievable rewards. And then there\u2019s \u201cwe\u2019re not sure he\u2019s even gay-adjacent\u201d Jack.<\/p>\n

Verdict<\/b>: Salvatore knows how to tell an empowering story. Graves embellishes with indispensable sparkle.<\/p>\n
