Synopsis

Inspired by a true story, When Everything Feels like the Movies is an edgy, extravagant novel for young people and others, full of gender-bending teen glamour, dark mischief and enough melodrama to incite the paparazzi. A boy who smells like Chanel Mademoiselle, calls Blair Waldorf his biggest childhood influence, and reads Old Hollywood star biographies doesn't have the easiest path to travel in life, but somehow, Jude paves his road with yellow bricks and makes us all wish we could join him over the rainbow.

About this title

Review:

"I m struggling to find the right words to put alongside this book for a review, because I m not entirely sure I can fathom the words required to really do this book justice. It s incomparable, and it s completely unlike anything you ve ever read before. It will shock you, but in the best way possible." "The Guardian"
"This story is a whirlwind of gender-bending drama with plenty of pop culture references." "School Library Journal"
"Even within the realm of YA books about gay, cross-dressing teenagers, When Everything Feels Like the Movies stands out. It doesn't mince words, and often those words are the kind not generally found in children's literature." "Montreal Gazette""
