Max
By Avi Duckor-Jones
Harry Hartog's review
Words cannot express how emotional and real this book is, I was simply enthralled from the start. A coming-of-age story, an acceptance of sexuality, relationship turbulence, and finding our place in this world are everything that Max deals with. I think this is a story that everyone needs to read, to learn and to understand the complexity of being a young person and coming to terms with who we are, our sexualities, our futures in life and our relationships we care and think we care about. If you were to read only one book and never again, I implore you to read Max. - Rohan, Harry Hartog Macquarie
Description
I want to let her know that choosing something is the entire problem. How do you choose something without feeling the undeniable loss of everything you rejected?
Max is about to finish high school. On the surface it appears he has everything, but underneath he is floundering. Grappling with questions about his birth parents and his sexuality, he feels that there is a seed of badness deep within him that will inevitably be exposed.
After an incident at the end-of-year party sets Max's world to crumbling, he must finally figure out who he is and where he came from - and who he is allowed to love.
Max is a vivid and insightful coming-of-age novel about the ways we weave the threads of our adolescent identities into a cohesive adult self.
