FlumeAward – The Vast Fields of Ordinary //The Vast Fields of Ordinary// by Nick Burd
I love this gay romance. It has great writing and believable characters. Here’s the CIP description: "The summer after graduating from an Iowa high school, eighteen-year-old Dade Hamilton watches his parents’ marriage disintegrate, ends his long-term, secret relationship, comes out of the closet, and savors first love." It would be great to see this on our final list. ~ Gail Zachariah, Keene Public Library
This was a Stonewall Winner in 2010. It is such a great book about finding one’s self. This would be a great addition to our list. ~ Sharon Flesher, Nashua High South
