Arthur and Teddy are Coming Out

 Book 43 of my 2025 Reading Challenge
read from May 13 - 27

Arthur and Teddy are Coming Out by Ryan Love
published 2024

Summary (via the book jacket)
No one in the family is prepared when 79-year-old Arthur Edwards drops a bombshell: he's gay, and after a lifetime in the closet, he's finally ready to come out.
Arthur's 21-year-old grandson, Teddy, has the same secret. But Teddy doesn't feel ready to come out yet - especially when Arthur's announcement causes shockwaves in the family.
Can Arthur and Teddy navigate first loves, heartbreak, and finding their place in their community?
More importantly, can they - and their family - learn to accept who they truly are?

My Opinion
3 stars

I'm rating this neutrally because I've been very physically and emotionally drained caring for an ill family member for a few weeks now so I really didn't process this book.  On one hand, I found there to be a few too many plot lines, especially when they all wrapped up so neatly.  On the other hand, out of the 3 books I was reading before everything happened, this is the only one I've even picked up during this time so I guess that's worth something.
