Rainbow Award winner Atom Heart John Beloved chronicles the lives of two boys who become friends at age thirteen. The story is told by eighteen-year-old John, who quietly whispers to his best friend one night in bed, "Do me." This novel is a breathtaking love story and an intense coming of age story that resembles no other book. John's narrative voice is one of the most unique in gay literature. Atom Heart John Beloved is literate, intimate, erotic, and delightful, delivering unexpected moments of grace.
"This novel is good . . . disturbingly good." - Elisa Rolle, Elisa Reviews "A refreshing novel that makes one feel alive again." - Rainbow Awards "A brilliant, funny and disturbingly honest look at teen sexuality, sensibilities, and fantasies." - The Wilde Writers Collective
