Jack of Hearts (And Other Parts)

I enjoyed reading Jack of Hearts as it highlights a lot of issues with teens in particular, even in 2018/19. Being in high school is hard, I am sure everyone will agree there. Jack is gay, he is a bit of a party animal and his reputation precedes him, although not everything spoken in the rumour mill is true heck he likes to be talked about so really mind what he was supposed to have done at the last party.

Jack also writes an advice column on his friend’s blog and yes he may divulge a bit too much of his private life, but it does help the anonymous people he answers.

He starts receiving notes in his locker and it soon turns to be a full-on stalker. And when he turns to his headteacher for help, his prejudiced attitude says basically Jack has bought it all on himself and should just calm down.

In this book, we see how this affects Jack and how he deals with it, but there is also a lot of humour too, his friends are great, there is banter, tiffs and so much more. It was a great book.
