Funny, heartbreaking, filled with teen angst, Tim Federle’s book made me a teenager again in the most bittersweet way. Quinn Roberts reveals himself to the reader bit by bit, and as the camera metaphorically pulls back, and we gradually see the big picture, we appreciate the tender, damaged resilience of this young man.To some degree, all teen novels must be voyages of self-discovery. This book is no exception, but Federle’s wonderful writing and Quinn’s wry, endearing personality offer an intense reminder of what, to some degree, we all went through to survive into adulthood.Quinn is gay, but that fact is more of an annoyance to him than a trauma. “It just seems like such a hassle to come out. I want to just be out.” Problem is, he’s still trying to cope with the sudden, tragic death of his sister Annabeth, which has thrown a monkey wrench into his family’s ability to cope. Fortunately, Tim has Geoff, his best friend forever. Geoff is the catalyst who ignites the sparks that set the ball rolling, as it were. Geoff is a remarkable character, and Quinn knows it as much as we do.I don’t want to give things away. It’s not a long book, but it’s superbly crafted to wring every possible emotion out of us. I surely thought of Stephen Chbosky’s “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” as I read this, but of course here the gay kid is the centerpiece, and to me that makes all the difference.“The Great American Whatever” is unquestionably one of the best YA novels I’ve read. It touched me deeply and made me envious of Federle’s gift as a writer.

I've read a lot of gay novels lately, mostly escapist M/M romances. I mean, I have standards. They have to be well-written, like Josh Lanyon or Brad Vance. It can't be just endless sex scenes strung together with a paper thin plot. But this. This is an entire level altogether. This isn't M/M. It is a novel with a gay protagonist. I could recommend this to any of my friends without any embarrassment. In fact,I think I will. One review compared this to Catcher in the Rye. And the comparison is completely valid. Honestly, it might be better. If I were teaching high school English, I would certainly have them read this and not that. But don't think because it is good that it is not fun. It is. There's a lot to think about but there is a lot of fun, too. So try it. And, Tim Federle, well done.

One of the latest YA novels to tell the tempestuous and angsty but ultimately affirming tale of adolescent coming out, Tim Federle’s *The Great American Whatever* problematizes the romantic notion of 21st-century queer affirmation by complicating the protagonist’s sexual identity development with grief over the death of his older sister and managing his own control issues.Quinn Roberts—sometimes called “Win” (a clear signifier of his eventual triumph) by his late sister and his new paramour—aspires to be a successful Hollywood screenwriter. After his childhood crush and former babysitter shared with him the formula for successfully crafting an epic heroic adventure (which nearly replicates Joseph Campbell’s monomyth paradigm), Quinn collaborated with his sister Annabeth on a number of quirky independent films. He also casts himself as the hero of his own life and imagines life itself as a screenplay that he has the power to control. The people with whom he interacts are “scene partners.” He doesn’t engage in conversation; he speaks scripted dialogue. He even renders parts of his first-person narrative as movie scenes complete with dialogue, set descriptions, and stage directions.As he struggles to cope with his sister’s untimely death (for which he at least partially blames himself), he also tries to help his mother come to terms with the loss (his father abandoned them long ago) as he discovers the limits of just how well he knows his best friend. And he’s falling in love for the first time.Federle depicts these events with all of the sweet innocence and snide frustration that so deftly characterize adolescence. Although the novel tackles some heavy issues—coming out, the death of a loved one, first love, virginity (and the loss thereof)—it never feels particularly heavy. The novel’s sole weakness might be the blithe spirit with which it regards profound developmental aspects of maturity and sexuality, but its many attributes more than compensate for that.

I don't read YA that frequently, it can be a little formulaic. And while in many ways this book sticks to the themes of every coming of age tale that has come before, it's done so well by Tim Federle I don't even care. It's a quick read, but perfectly paced with just the right amount of humor to offset the tragedy, and just the right amount of realism to offset all the standard YA tropes.I'd highly recommend if you are interested in any of the following: YA fiction, Pittsburgh, film making, gay protagonists (where sexuality is not the main source of conflict or angst), coming of age stories, The Perks of Being a Wildflower (it's an easy comparison to make. I'll be honest though, I think I like The Great American Whatever more.)

When I read the summary I was expecting a completely different story than what I got. I'm not one of those people that complains when a character grieves "too much". I think it's realistic to have various kinds of grief represented in stories. What bothered me was how self centered Quinn was. He acted like his grief was more important than everyone else's. Add to that how he kept insulting Geoff in his mind the entire story and he was nothing but kind and loyal to him. It was frustrating.Another thing I didn't like was how his being gay felt like an afterthought. I didn't really believe it is what I'm trying to say. And his relationship with Amir just felt incredibly fake. I couldn't even buy them as friends. Amir was nice but I just wasn't feeling them.But what I did appreciate besides Geoff was how Quinn's grief was handled. I truly felt for him and his loss. He said some really intelligent stuff about his feelings and how he described them.
