King of the Screwups by K.L. Going


Liam Geller is Mr. Popular. He has the skills, the charm, and the fashion to be the man everybody loves. But it's never quite good enough for Dad. After one too many screwups, Liam is kicked out of the house. Fortunately for him, his gay glamour-rocker "Aunt" Pete is willing to take him in. Despite its appearances, Liam sees this as more than a step down in the hierarchy of society. He sees this as a chance to remake himself into everything his father wants in a son. But Pete sees him for who he really is, forcing him to choose: be true to his father or himself?
----------------------------------------
REVIEW: A magnificent story about finding yourself. Liam goes through an amazing shift, seeing life in a different way. He realizes the most important thing in life is being yourself, no matter who wants to change you. Lots of comedy and life lessons bundled into one. A great book, highly recommended for young readers. 9/10
