Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit Review

Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit by Jaye Robin Brown is a 432 page YA contemporary novel.

Joanna Gordon has been out and proud for years, but when her popular radio evangelist father remarries and decides to move all three of them from Atlanta to the more conservative Rome, Georgia, he asks Jo to do the impossible: to lie low for the rest of her senior year. And Jo reluctantly agrees. Although it is (mostly) much easier for Jo to fit in as a straight girl, things get complicated when she meets Mary Carlson, the oh-so-tempting sister of her new friend at school. But Jo couldn’t possibly think of breaking her promise to her dad. Even if she’s starting to fall for the girl. Even if there’s a chance Mary Carlson might be interested in her, too. Right?

I rate this book 4/5 stars.

I didn't take many notes while listening to this audiobook which I read for the Buzzword-athon, June 2023. And I'm kinda sad about that, because while I did really like the book while listening to it, can I barely remember it.

I noted that I did really like the discourse on religion and sexuality within the book, but that I disliked how Joanna's dad asks het to hide her sexuality when they move to another part of America, even though he is accepting of her.

Do you have any questions? Or maybe some recommendations? Send me an ask here on Tumblr or tweet me.  If you wish to support me, you can buy me a coffee! Or even buy my debut fantasy novel, The Mending Road.

It is (sadly) the end of #pridemonth, and so here's my #bookishrainbow. And yes, there is no red book, bc I apparently don't have a red spine book with a #queer main character. So I put in a pink book. 👍 I've only read two of these (#AriandDante and QoG), so I'm not sure about the representation in these, but for the most part, I think these are all okay. If not, please (PLEASE) tell me. #NotYourSidekick by #CBLee #GeorgiaPeachesAndOtherForbiddenFruit by #JayeRobinBrown #LizardRadio by #PatSchmatz #TheGentlemansGuideToViceAndVirtue by #MackenziLee #AristotleAndDanteDiscoverTheSecretsOfTheUniverse by #BenjaminAlireSaenz #JulietTakesABreath by #GabbyRivera #QueensOfGeek by #JenWilde #rainbow #pride #queerbook #lgbtqbooks #lgbtqiap #lgbtq #gay #lesbian #bisexual I'm not 100% sure of other identities represented within these books.

Favorite tweets: Abalada após a morte da namorada, Jessica encontra uma amiga capaz de mostrá-la um outro jeito de lidar com a dor e a raiva. 🐦🏳‍🌈"The Meaning of Birds", de @JayeRobinBrown, é um livro sobre se encontrar quando parece que você perdeu a parte mais importante de si mesmo. pic.twitter.com/s9ZGB02DDJ— Sem Spoiler (@semspoiler_) June 10, 2019

On Tuesday evening, I worked up the post-work energy to head over to @tridentbooks to support two authors of queer YA that I had never heard of. It was such an amazing panel and it was so inspiring to hear their stories and their processes. So, of course, I bought their books. Today I'm starting this beautiful book by @jayerobinbrown and I cannot wait! So thankful. http://ift.tt/2jZczNU

My day late post for day 24 for #spooktacularbooks! #bookwithfoodonthecover! I had them out and set up and just didn't take a pic yesterday. But I think it's funny that I'm 95% sure these are the only books I own with food on the cover and the food is all fruit. Apples of the cover of #theIsleoftheLost by #MelissadelaCruz and #aGirlisaHalfFormedThing by #EimearMcBride Then peaches on the cover of #GeorgiaPeachesandOtherForbiddenFruit by #JayeRobinBrown #stackofbooks #booknerd #pileofbooks
