Queering Him

De: Katherine Wela Bogen

Narrado por: Katherine Wela Bogen

For fans of books by Sally Rooney and LUSTER by Raven Leilani. In this propulsive debut novel, QUEERING HIM, Katherine Wela Bogen chronicles the scalding-hot story of millennial enemies turned lovers Avra and Kieran.

Bullied by Kieran at high school, Avra begins to recognize something familiar in his threatening, but always lingering, gaze. What if he’s cruel not only because he fears her out queerness, but because he also secretly covets it for himself?

Mutual fascination slowly evolves into obsession, tethering Avra and Kieran to each other through early adulthood as they embark on a relationship both perilous and revelatory.

A heart-shattering tale of erotic yearning, QUEERING HIM is also a provocative contribution to social and psychological discourse about bisexuality, queer identity, and kink. Avra and Kieran will return in the second and third installments of this searing and tantalizing trilogy.

An outstanding debut, raw and real.

Katherine Wela Bogen has created a raw and real cast of characters in Queering Him. Her beautiful, highly descriptive writing hooked me from the start. These characters are flawed, they make mistakes, they feel like REAL people. I related to Avra in so many ways as a queer woman, so many of the experiences she goes through were parallel to my own. I can’t wait for more of this story, the ending was devastating! The spicy scenes are abundant, but don’t feel forced into the story - they’re a big part of who Avra is, unapologetically herself, in tune with her sexuality and desires, and I found it very empowering. The way Bogen writes about submissiveness hit deep for me and her words will be a part of my memory for a long time. A truly excellent debut.
