Welcome back to Temple High! Damien Benoit-Ledoux returns with the third, heartwarming volume of his young adult gay romance series, Love Grows in Honest Places.

Zavien’s life revolves around his church’s strict rules and expectations for Christian living, but he feels more stuck than ever. With his grades slipping, his best swim times dropping, and the girl he can’t stand acting more clingy, his only bright spot is the time he spends with his best friend Caleb. But now the people closest to him are asking too many questions. Down deep, Zavien knows admitting his terrible secret will only turn his world upside down. So why can’t he stop thinking about the cute blue-haired boy from school?

Jolan openly lives his best life. Anything but shy—except when it comes to his oil paintings—he keeps his grades up and proudly works at a popular LGBT-friendly café. Unfortunately, that hasn’t landed him …

Very good but technically needs a mini polish

4 stars

Like the other two books in this series, it was very cute. I wonder if the author had personal experience with the topic because it seems rather real how these specific Christian churches operate. I am glad the stories work out in the end. Only criticism is that some parts of the book are not well edited. Sometimes words are missing in sentences and there’s some mini detail/logic errors. Just a mini polish missing on all of them.
