F#@! BOMB: A Story About Coming Out … And Coming Out Of One’s Shell
by Naomi Rabinowitz
Here’s the set-up:
Fatty. Freak. Friendless. Failure. Sadie Abramowitz is used to being alone. The morbidly obese college freshman literally doesn’t fit in anywhere and was constantly the butt of jokes in high school.
So far, life at Cunningham University isn’t much better. Her roommate only communicates in grunts while Sadie’s “dream job” at the school paper has her interviewing her fellow students with questions that practically invite them to insult her.
Things change when she’s assigned a story on Griffin Greenberg, the freshman track star who was one of Sadie’s high school bullies. At first, she’s reluctant to work with the gorgeous Griffin, but soon discovers that he’s not such a bad guy. Plus, he’s been keeping a secret: he’s gay.
As their friendship grows, Griffin challenges Sadie to do something she never thought possible: train for a marathon. Meanwhile, she supports him as he slowly comes to terms with his sexuality. Together, they help each other survive their first year of college – and also learn how to stand strong on their own.
*This book is a New Adult novel with some mature language and situations. It is recommended for readers 14 and up.
5-star Amazon reviews:
“For the story’s protagonist, Sadie, this is a story about weight, yes. For her friend, Griffin, it’s also the story of his coming out. But there was so much more to this, and those were the sections that surprised me and made me feel like I was reading a truly talented literary author.”
“I really enjoyed this YA book. To say it is unique would be an understatement. I basically didn’t want to put it down once I started reading. The story set-up is so good and the author really captures the angst, pain, and heart-wrenching drama that goes a long with that age. Even as an adult, I can still relate.”
