Only on the Weekends by Dean Atta

Following the masterpiece that is The Black Flamingo was always going to be a tough gig – Only on the Weekends is presented in a much more conventional narrative form, and reading it directly after Jay’s Gay Agenda it sits much more closely as a companion to that novel than it does to The Black Flamingo.


We need these stories of queer teen loves, and we should rejoice that they seem to be being published thick and fast at the moment – it is a great blessing to the generation that are living their first loves that these stories reassure them that they are not alone.
