May the Best Man Win

from Book Shelter · host Book Shelter

A young adult contemporary story. The narrative alternates between the perspectives of two main characters, Jeremy and Lukas, highlighting their individual struggles and their intertwined relationship. Jeremy, a transgender boy, navigates gender dysphoria, transphobia, and his desire for acceptance and visibility as he runs for Homecoming King. Lukas, still coping with the death of his brother and familial dysfunction, also campaigns for Homecoming King, desperately seeking a win to unite his fractured family. The excerpts explore themes of identity, acceptance, grief, competition, and the complexities of high school relationships, culminating in the Homecoming dance and its aftermath, where both personal and collective challenges are confronted.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/May-Best-Man-Win-Ellor/dp/1250625122?&linkCode=ll2&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=bad606da96e80d6e1c8817563c76ed7c&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by Podcai Studio:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
