A Touch of Scarlet
Eve Marie Mont’s young-adult fiction is a prime example of genre writing at its finest. While not really a “gay book,” gay characters occur as natural parts of the landscape. The charm of Mont’s book is the interweaving of classic tales with modern times to discuss issues that have affected teens forever.
