READ THIS REVIEW ON MY BLOG!!!


this is not an easy book to review. Deposing Nathan, on paper, seems like a very straightforward book about friendship and self-acceptance—but reality is not as kind, and Deposing Nathan instead dives into a deep study of domestic and psychological abuse, internalized homophobia, religion, and, sure, also friendship and self-acceptance. but trust me when I say that never in a million years did I expect a YA, contemporary LGBT romance to hit me this hard.

I truly don’t know what to say about Deposing Nathan. it’s heartbreaking and hopeful, enraging and hilarious—ask me how Zack Smedley did it, but I honestly have no idea. it’s relatable in the most wholesome ways, but strikes you in the most unexpected moments with existential questions about religion and sexuality. Nate and Cam are incredible characters, both individually and as a unit, and more than anything I just wish this book had been longer. it’s a powerful read that touches on heavily significant themes, and I know I sound like I’m parroting myself at this point but I’m genuinely so emotional after having finished this book and I still can’t seem to wrap my head around it all.

I hope Deposing Nathan and Zack Smedley don’t go unnoticed. Nate’s harrowing, deprecating experience is real and relevant and I could feel his pain throughout the book. basically, Deposing Nathan is simply incredible, and it propels a thunderous start to my Pride Month TBR. amazing read!!
