The Memoirs of a Beautiful Boy
Robert Leleux
"After his father leaves him and his mother high and dry on a Texas ranch, Robert must cope with his eccentric mother’s increasingly creative attempts at cosmetic perfection as she looks to snare a rich man. Meanwhile Robert falls in love with a handsome dance instructor, but is a little dismayed that his coming-out surprises no-one. A funny and charming tale of love, acceptance and botched lip implants. "
—Mark Paprocki, Shorewood
