Their writing style invokes every emotion you can imagine. This was the first book I’ve read by them, and probably my favorite now that I’ve read many others (although Josh & Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating was so freaking adorable). They walk the line of cheesy romance, but they add so much depth and character growth that I am always blown away. “But this is your life, and it will stretch out before you, and you are the only person who can make it whatever you want it to be.”Ĭhristina Lauren are now my go-to authors for entertaining contemporaries. Yes, it’s not always a healthy life for members of the LGBT+ community, but there are reasons why people still believe. They never bash Mormonism, and instead had the two very different characters of Tanner and Sebastian find middle ground on the subject. Christina Lauren do a fantastic job balancing the religious themes and LGBT+ themes. I was hesitant to read it– having grown up as bi in a very Christian town makes this hit a little close to home– but I ended up loving the religious setting of this book more than I could have ever imagined. This book takes place in a very Mormon town in Utah. “You have so much space in your heart for your church, but does it have space for you?” Sebastian becomes Tanner’s muse, but falling for him only causes problems when he’s all Tanner can think– or write– about. Sebastian is a devout Mormon, and there to mentor the class since the novel he wrote during the Seminar is about to be published. When he begins a class known as the Seminar, where students must draft a novel in four months, he meets Sebastian Brother. Content Warning: Mature Content, Homophobia //Īutoboyography follows Tanner Scott as he moves from California to Utah, and from out of the closet as bi… to back in. “A God worthy of your eternal love wouldn’t judge you for who you love while you’re here.” Review In A Nutshell: Autoboyography is an extremely well-done contemporary that is sure to steal your heart.
