Stupid internet. I am not writing this review again. It's well-executed; definitely the best 'gay teen' book I've read. Not genius, but you can't have everything. Cliches are used, but not with an overly heavy hand. I cared a surprising amount about the characters and wanted to read more---lots more. I still want to know who 'patient zero' was! ( )

Geography Club is the story of high school student, Russel Middlebrook and his attempts and desire to keep other students from finding out he’s gay, stop feeling alone, and find someone like him he can talk to. This is told in first person.


This YA story is a fast and easy read. It’s about Russell trying to fit into an acceptable group in high school and not get put into “Outcast Island” as he called it, like Brian Bund. The author did a good job of describing the groups that were “In” and “Out” in high school.

The author wrote Russel as having a self-deprecating sense of humor which came across well. However, Russel came across as a bit too grown up to me, like he was an adult trying to talk like a high school kid. The other thing that seemed off to me was Russell having numerous epiphanies about his behavior and other students over a couple months. I can see maybe a couple insights but there were too many. Russell didn’t come across as an insightful person, not like his friend, Min. The other thing that bothered me about Russel was not so much that the story was in first person, but that Russel consistently broke the fourth wall. Whenever he did, I was thrown out of the story and it was noticeable. I didn’t care for it.

There isn’t much else to say about this story since it's just an average read. I might read the last book in the series to see if Russel ever gets back with Kevin, but unless I can borrow the other books in the series; I don’t think I’ll read them. This is a quick, easy read that does a decent job of showing us readers the worries gay and outcast high school students go through every day. I give Geography Club 3 Stars.

Shortest review ever, I just wanted to judtify the 3 stars, it wasn't bad, it was good, just nothing special, not really. I've read so many more books like it, and it was so short it was over before I realised, without anything really happening.

The characters were lovely though, especially Russel and Gunnar. Some of the best one-liners I've seen in a while, but compared to other things I've read recently, it just didn't stand against them. ( )

This book was pretty cute. I think it would be great for younger teenagers. But it didn't really do anything original, I guess. I wasn't particularly thrilled with it. ( )

Sweet YA novel about Russel Middlebrook finding out he is not the only gay kid in school, making choices between popularity and doing the right thing, and the importance of forgiving and finding forgiveness. ( )
