Renee Macalino Rutledge: Powell's Q&A: Renee Macalino Rutledge, author of 'One Hundred Percent Me' (0 comment)
Could you describe your latest book, One Hundred Percent Me?
A little girl is used to hearing questions about her looks all the time. "Where are you from?" "What are you?" These questions are a constant reminder from others that she is different. As she embraces her identity and culture, she teaches others that she belongs, that the differences they notice are part of what make her unique, special, and herself....

Publisher Comments

This is the story of Paul, a sophomore at a high school like no other: The cheerleaders ride Harleys, the homecoming queen used to be a guy named Daryl (she now prefers Infinite Darlene and is also the star quarterback), and the gay-straight alliance was formed to help the straight kids learn how to dance.

When Paul meets Noah, he thinks he’s found the one his heart is made for. Until he blows it. The school bookie says the odds are 12-to-1 against him getting Noah back, but Paul’s not giving up without playing his love really loud. His best friend Joni might be drifting away, his other best friend Tony might be dealing with ultra-religious parents, and his ex-boyfriend Kyle might not be going away anytime soon, but sometimes everything needs to fall apart before it can really fit together right.

This is a happy-meaningful romantic comedy about finding love, losing love, and doing what it takes to get love back in a crazy-wonderful world.

Review

"In its blithe acceptance and celebration of human differences, this is arguably the most important gay novel since Annie on My Mind and seems to represent a revolution in the publishing of gay-themed books for adolescents." Booklist, starred review

Review

"With wry humor, wickedly quirky and yet real characters, and real situations, this is a must for any library serving teens." Kirkus Reviews

Review

"In a genre filled with darkness, torment, and anxiety, this is a shiningly affirmative and hopeful book." The Bulletin, starred review

Review

"Levithan's prophecy of a hate-free world in which everyone loves without persecution makes this a provocative and important read for all young adults, gay or straight." School Library Journal, starred review

While not my favorite style of writing, Boy Meets Boy is a story that our whole world needs to read. Paul lives in a town that needs to become the standard for towns and cities all across the world, and he lives a life that is all too like our own- trying to find love and screwing it up when we do find it. Reading this book, we see the necessities of friends, of truth, and of the marvelous thing that is called serendipity.

This book was great I honestly did not want to put it down. I think I read it twice in 1 week, that's how phenomenal it was. This book also expressed some important problems in todays society.
