Jack of Hearts (And Other Parts)

Seventeen-year-old Jack, an openly and unapologetically gay teen at a prestigious New York City private school, is known throughout school for his active sex life, though the gossip is often far more exaggerated than the reality. When Jack starts writing a frank sex advice column for an online news blog alongside his best friends Jenna and Ben, he begins receiving creepy pink origami love notes that escalate into threatening messages attempting to force him back into the closet and curb his sexuality. As the threats intensify and target his loved ones, Jack and his friends must uncover the identity of the stalker before the obsession becomes genuinely dangerous.

Review

What’s Done Well

  • Donor conception is a fact of life. Donor conception does not play a large role in this book. Instead, it is just a facet of Jack’s identity, as it can be for donor-conceived youth.

Additional Considerations

  • Mature subject matter. Jack’s sex advice column contains graphic depictions of sexual activity that are not appropriate for younger readers.
