Greer MacManus is uprooted from her childhood home in South Carolina when her father is determined to fulfill his strange but pressing dream to become a border-crossing coyote.
Her parents take her and her younger sister to Prescott, Arizona to start a new life closer to the border. Greer enters a new school with the hopes of reinventing herself from the wallflower with one friend to speak of, to a social butterfly. She soon finds herself among the company of athletes, a swimmer herself. While Greer tries to get comfortable in her clique under the admiring eye of Cameron Keeting, the most attractive jock in school, she becomes increasingly interested in someone else. Rebecca Wilder, the beautiful swim team captain and infamous lesbian in town, befriends Greer, taking her under her wing. A love triangle soon overtakes Greer’s world, leading
to drug experimentation and mental confusion as she comes to grips with her sexuality as her world starts to fall apart. Without anyone to turn to, Greer must find an inner strength and the courage to be herself in a society that doesn’t always understand.

I just finished "Queer Greer," and I've got to tell you it was one of the most moving books I've read in a good long time. I found that it was one of those books that made me think about my own life, that made me realize a few things about what other people had been going through when they were teens.

There were times that it brought me to tears, and others where I wished I could put the book down, but it wasn't the kind of book that allowed that. I recently bought the book from Amazon, read it, and started to re-read it.

This book is one I have no qualms about placing in my top hundred or so favorites; and when you consider that I've read tens of thousands of books in my day...

Queer Greer edition by AJ Walkley Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

Have you ever read a book that just had you saying WOW at the end?

WOW in a good way, that is.

WOW in the way that your brain was just put through the ringer because you had to think constantly throughout the whole book, constantly had to wonder how you would feel in the protagonist's shoes. Constantly had to put yourself in the shoes of the supporting characters and see if you would react the same as they did, or if your reaction would be different.

Queer Greer is that book for me.

At first I wasn't sure if I liked Greer, but as I learned more about her, walked in her shoes so to speak, I began to love her. I believe that her journey into discovering her sexuality is something that everyone goes through. A person's sexuality is not black or white - it may be blue or pink or purple. Gay or straight or bisexual.

Greer, as so many people can attest to, tried to be straight when she met Cameron, but there was Becca. Gorgeous, confident, out and proud Becca. I've known - and dated - way too many Camerons in my lifetime. Guys who are all about breaking the rules, doing manly things, but never doing what they long to do deep down. Play the guitar. Sing in front of a crowd. I don't think in my high school days that I knew many Beccas.

Queer Greer takes you on her journey from apparent "straight girl" to "secretly gay" to "the closet's been open". You may not agree with Greer's tactics, you may not agree with how she copes, but you will feel her pain and frustration as she follows her path.

I would recommend this book to EVERYONE. Especially young teens who question their own sexuality or who aren't sure that anyone else feels the way they do. Someone does, and they will help you through it. You just have to find that person.

I'm required to acknowledge that I received a review copy of this book from the author in exchange for my review, good or bad. I received no other compensation and wasn't required to give it a positive review.
I was surprised how much I enjoyed reading this book. Though it could have easily been told in a preachy or hamfisted manner "Queer Greer" managed to navigate a very complex subject- a high school student discovering that she was neither straight nor gay but bisexual- with grace and simplicity. Great job. I hope this is on many high school's summer reading lists.
Queer Greer is a significant book. I read it over the weekend and I am glad I did. As a parent, former high school teacher and retired district administrator I found the characters real, genuine and very honest. Some might say too honest. To see this amazing novel as strictly the story of a teen coming to grips with her own sexuality is a mistake. As significant as that issue is, Walkley invites us to look much deeper into the lives of her characters; not only Greer and her very real conflicts and struggles, but those of her parents and friends as well. She gently pulls back the curtian for us to peak into the relationship between parent and child and in so doing causes us to ponder our own. The book didn't force me to examine my relationship with my two daughters. But,I did. That was a good thing. Neither does she ask the reader to feel sorry for or pity Greer. Greer McManus is like all of us. She is strong and at times weak. She is honest and sometimes naive. She is self sufficiant and sometimes needy. In short, Greer McManus is human. If you are a parent, read the book. If you are a teacher or administrator,read the book. Such honesty doesn't come along often.
