He's the out-and-proud, super-likable guy who friends, faculty, and fellow students alike admire for his cheerful confidence. The only person who isn't entirely sure about Remy Cameron is Remy himself. Under pressure to write an A+ essay defining who he is and who he wants to be, Remy embarks on an emotional journey toward reconciling the outward labels people attach to him with the real Remy Cameron within. <p/> From the author of the bestselling novel <i>Running With Lions</i>, a story about overcoming the labels that try to define our lives<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Rembrandt "Remy" Joshua Cameron is known at Maplewood High School for his confidence and super-likable personality. He is one of five African American students and president of the Gay-Straight Alliance. He is the adopted son in a loving white family, which includes Uncle Dawson, who is also gay, and a beagle named Clover. He is a fan of indie pop music, and he aspires to attend the creative writing program at Emory College of Arts and Sciences. But when he's assigned to write a personal essay about who he is, Remy isn't sure what that means. While Remy dreads the Essay of Doom, he gains a new love interest, Ian Park, a Korean American 1980s pop music aficionado, and is sought after by Free Williams, a mysterious woman who has a surprising connection to his emotional journey. Winters has crafted a thought-provoking yet fun YA novel with a lot of wit and laugh-out-loud one-liners. The author pays homage to past and present LGBTQ wordsmiths Tennessee Williams and Benjamin Alire Sáenz, and has created an array of diverse characters without presenting them as preachy stereotypes and boxed-in caricatures." --Donald Peebles, <i>School Library Journal</i><br><br>"A laugh-out-loud-but-oh-no-now-you're-crying novel about identity, family and adoption, Julian Winters' latest book is not to be missed.

The world needs Remy Cameron, and I, for one, am ready for everyone else to discover just how heartwarming this book is." -- <b>MARK OSHIRO</b>, author of <i>Anger is a Gift</i><br><br>"The relationships among the members of the mixed-race Cameron family (Remy's parents are white) and between Remy and his friends are nuanced and reflect a hopeful future for America. An endearing novel that gives hope to those who know what it's like being different." --<i> Kirkus Reviews</i><br><br>"You've been warned: Remy Cameron is coming for your heart.
