I'm always on the lookout for cute LGBTQIAP+ books to read. I heard about One Man Guy a couple of years back but never got around to reading it. When my partner read it and told me that it was a cute read, I went looking for it at my library. I found it, read it, and agree. It is a cute book. Howeve...
This was a perfectly pleasant 3-star YA mm story that pairs a teen from a culturally immersed Armenian family with a slightly older teen who seems to have minimal parental presence. There were messages about love and acceptance and doing the right thing. There were misunderstandings and conflicte...
Lovely lovely love! Super sweet story about Ethan and Alek falling in love and Alek's journey of discovery in terms of being "the man he wants to be." Wonderful coming-of-age and highly recommend!
This book was so adorable. Alek and Ethan are quite cute together. This read was a bit fluffier than I thought it would be. I enjoyed it, but I do think it lacked a little bit of depth. The author did a nice job of incorporating some Armenian culture into the book. I found it quite interesting as ...

I lived and breathed this book since getting it in the mail. After reading about this book on Fierce Reads, I knew I had to read it and then when I found out I won it, I was thrilled beyond belief. I don’t know what it was about it but something hit a cord with me and Michael’s words won me over j...
I was looking forward to this book since the time it appeared on Goodreads. I love LGBT books, especially if they are done right, and this one is done perfectly right.Alek was a wonderful character and I really loved him. I was also cheering for him to speak up or at least do something so his parent...
One Man Guy 27 May 2014Genres: Contemporary, LGBT, Romance, Young AdultPages: 272, Format: eARCSource: ARC Netgalley Alek Khederian should have guessed something was wrong when his parents took him to a restaurant. Everyone knows that Armenians never eat out. Between bouts of interrogating the w...
The blurb says “funny and heartfelt.” Was I reading a different story? Because this felt too simple too short; there’s very little the lead has to figure out here. And if there was anything to be dealt with, it’s done easily enough. To start we have Alek, very critical of the way his family is; in m...
So, basically, I'm fully, completely, utterly in love with this book and the only thing I wish for is that there was more. I ravished this in a span of few hours and cancelled every plan I had today so I could do so. It is funny, adorable, witty and beautiful in a way and I'm so so happy that I read...
